 'Classic liberalism didn't win because the state enforced it. 
Classic liberalism won because it had the moral high ground.
I think, right now, Bitcoin has the moral high ground.
I don't think the right wing has it.
I don't think that the left wing has it.
I think Bitcoin has it.'

Well said,  @HODL.  ✊

 Just finished listening to this. Loved most of you and hodl's viewpoints . Thanks for bringing your voice and these topics into the #bitcoin space. A lot to think about 💪

But damn, Erik is bitter. Although getting a lot right, he also got a lot of stuff (factually) wrong. Unnecessarily confrontational statements and doesn't spread a message that appeals to a regular person. By doing that, he does what he criticizes others; sticking your head in the sand and be happy in your little echo-chamber. 
 Open to feedback on anything I said incorrect. 
 See PM 🧡 
 I just discovered nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pfand I fucking love him. He and Hodl together are a knockout combo

Without a doubt I have been caught up in the left/right squabbling in a way which has not served anybody. 

Any time I label myself or anyone else with some sort of collective title it leads to hyperbolic divisive discourse which is more akin to fighting ghosts and engaging in straw man debates than it is solving real world issues.

I am still working to reframe the way I think and speak about these topics, which may take some time, but I'm glad conversations like this are taking place. It's very healing.
