Thanks Brisket. 

I try not to get too caught up in the short-term Bitcoin fiat price hype but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't impact me at all. 

You are right about the wider benefits though. Bitcoin and Nostr has increased my access to people who are (as far as I can tell) more optimistic and well-informed than most of the people I know.

In other news: today at the bank the guy next to me was wearing of those Satoshi/Nirvana t-shirts. I thought about speaking to him, but my op sec defences kicked in and I kept my mouth shut.
