Great to see all of the problems, past, present and future have been solved.

But thanks for the link to a person who clearly has no financial stake in the success of Bitcoin, right?

Yeah, Bitcoin is great, I agree :)

It seems pretty natural to me that someone who believes in Bitcoin would also purchase it.

I think it's cool too, and have ~5% of my portfolio allocated to BTC, ETH and XRP.

But I don't go around pretending it solves all of the problems of the monetary system. It's better in some ways, and (much) worse in others. I also don't dedicate my life to pumping it on social media.

If only we'd have the same mentality with short sellers, but instead we label them FUD.
