 I have been open and honest about everything I have worked on in this space for 5+ years.

Strong believer in working in the open. If you have a problem with me just ask.

 Can't connect to the context of this statement, @ODELL. Help please!  
 It’s unimportant and the statement stands true on its own. 
 True that "the statement stands true on its own". I didn't have any question or suspicion or doubt about the truthfulness of the statement. I have not implicated in any way that the statement will become true only if a context is provided. 

I felt curious and I asked for help. @ODELL has full capacity to engage or ignore.

But your response helped me figure out that asking for any context here is really irrelevant and might be even embarrassing for the author. I thank you for that. 
 people have been talking shit 
 heres to the next 5+ years. 🏆 
 You just gotta quote some ludacris next time they do it:

Yeek yeek! (woop, woop) why you all in my ear?
Talking a whole bunch of shit that I ain't trying to hear!
Get back motherfucker, you don't know me like that!

 Don't know anything about it cus I'm an old OG Bitcoiner, but Fuck'em!

As you get older you don't make new friends, you just cross old ones off your list. But here are a few words of advice when your feeling all paranoid and pissed:

YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYONE,
SO YOU HAVE TO PLEASE YOURSELF.


STICKS AND STONE MAY BREAK MY BONES, BUT WORDS, 
AND FUCKTARDS, 
WILL NEVER HURT ME.


DONT GRUMBLE,
AND STACK SATS.

;-) 
 English is not my native language. Learnt the word GRUMBLE just now. Hope I remember it.

 Oooh, that may be the slogan for the older cohort:

Don't grumble, stack sats 😄 
 Our buddy JW can be a jerk sometimes. 
 🥱 
 I just gotta know one thing...

Cast iron or Stainless Steel? 
 cast iron obviously 
 Stainless steel bois eat crow plain. 
 Glass pan maxi 
 Respect. 
 I appreciate all you do @ODELL.  Have for all those 5+ years.  Keep doing you!  I am excited about the next 5.  Stay humble and…you know 🤣💜 
 This is the Bitcoin way:

Openness. Honesty. Verifiability. Integrity.

Bitcoiners are those who strive to emulate these qualities found in Bitcoin. 
 You’re hustle is appreciated sir 
 Keep up your great work sir. 🍻👏 
 You are a model sir 🤝  
 More like a modl 
 As they say down South- if you got any issues with a fella you’ve got to go straight to the horses mouth! 
 Ningún problema contigo Odell, se te admira 💜🫶 
 Your contributions and willingness to sacrifice your own privacy are truly appreciated.

You've taught me and many others a lot.  
 Sacrificing one's own privacy? Did I miss anything? Or was that a sarcasm?

I must be a dumbass. 🤦 
 No, he’s just a public figure. Many in Bitcoin choose not to be, and there are probably more risks associated with being public. 
 Oh yes, I understand now. It makes sense. Thanks a lot. 🫂 
 You're not a dumbass 🫂 
 Not everything you do is for the public. That said, every time I walk into the Park… going back to Jackalope… the message/work has been clear, concise honest and transparent. We should all be supportive of your’s (and other’s) serenity to work and provide. No idea who is talking shit - don’t care - you keep being you Matt. 
 You are the lighthouse mate. 

If ppl want to focus on the stormy weather - that’s on them.

Keep shinning bright. 

You keep us inspired and motivated to BE the change!

No Fear - Just Freedom! 💜 
 Any plan to open source all the Strike code? If not, why?

 I trust you like you're my younger, smarter, better looking brother- even though you tell me not to. Words can't fully express my gratitude, much love & respect for everything you've done for the public's benefit🧡  
 Thanks for what you do, hope to shake your hand one day.  
 Appreciate the content you’ve been putting out over the years. It’s been very helpful for my family and I 🤙 
 Fuck them. Ride or die👊

 My problem is cold card being the best cold storage, but living a very freaking long way from NA to recommend them to others. What can I point people to? 
 What's going on? 
 Oh I have a problem with you. 
 You are the highest integrity "bitcoin person" I know of.  I listen to your podcasts often mostly for the inspiration that your honesty, integrity, and general personality give me.  I say keep on keeping on Odell. 
 What did we used to say . . . ?

"If you have a problem with me . . . then you have a problem. 
 just keeping it real, definitely not gonna tweet about it so here we are 
 Keep on ledge - there are people that appreciate you and all the openness that you offer. Damn. Discreet says it all. Fuck that haters. 🤟
