I think you are feeling a lot of misplaced anger because Bitcoin is “dumping” to $76k petrodollars, and I know that feeling well. I felt it when Bitcoin dumped from $69k down to $16k after I bought all the way up to the top. So, I will respond to this in good faith.
A couple of points:
1. It’s very flattering to be lumped in with @HODL and @ODELL and I thank you for the compliment. However, I am not the “early adopter” you seem to think I am. I started stacking sats in 2020 and have bought all the way up to every top since then. I work a fiat mining job, save as much as I can in bitcoin, and do my best to create value in the Bitcoin space via @THE Bitcoin Podcast . That said, anyone who is buying bitcoin now is an “early adopter.”
2. Do you have an example of me “cheering for government to get in on Bitcoin”? If you’d like more detailed thoughts on this, check out this note View quoted note →
3. You say the government “plays the biggest role in whether regular people can afford to stack bitcoin or not” (for which me HODL and Odell are apparently to blame?) then also seem disappointed that Bitcoin’s fiat price is going down, making it more affordable for regular people (for which we are also to blame?)… This is confusing and I’d love clarification on how the three of us are to blame for everything, apparently.
4. “YOU TOLD US BITCOIN WAS THE WAY ONLY TO LET GOVERNMENT SWOOP IN AND KEEP IS OUT”…… bro, what?
(4.1) who is keeping you out?
(4.2) I didn’t “let” the government do shit. NO ONE CAN STOP ANYONE FROM HOLDING BITCOJN. Governments buying was inevitable… (see again View quoted note → ).
5. “Us little guys are getting fucked and will not tolerate it anymore” … I hope you’re not suggesting me Hodl and Odell are fucking you… because I can assure you we are not… the only one fucking you is the system. Those of us who are tired of getting fucked by the system save in bitcoin and try to create value in this world.
6. No, Bitcoin does *not* care. Bitcoin is a protocol. We, Bitcoiners, care a LOT. HODL, Odell and I care a lot. We also care about as many people as possible waking the fuck up and learning about Bitcoin. That’s why we talk about Bitcoin in public forums as much as possible. That’s why we tell our family and friends and strangers on the internet that they need to pay fucking attention to Bitcoin. Because we see what is happening and the inevitability of it all, and want as many people as possible to start stacking and save themselves and their families.
I hope this helps to clarify things, and will continue to respond in good faith until you give me a reason to do otherwise.
I promise you neither I nor HODL nor ODELL are the enemy here…

How much better is discourse when people respond to each other rather than react?
I have to do better myself, but what a great response @walker that didn’t spiral in attacking each other.
We have to train this in ourselves as it’s easy for our passion to come across as arrogance as what good is being right if not persuasive as well?
“The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips. Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”
Proverbs 16:23-24 ESV
