Yes, yes, yes!
I too have had a Booth bomb blow my brain before (see my profile header).
If I had had the benefit of Booth back when I first stumbled into bitcoin in 2010, I’d be a billionaire today. But the best I can do is spend my time in the system I want to grow…and having made all the mistakes one can make in bitcoin to varying degrees, I’m like a wizened scholar ready to preserve and repeat the deep insights of those who have seen farther than I.
Cheers brother. I still feel new to it all, with those periodic “holy shit” moments that are so good for conviction.
I’m the “bitcoiner guy” at my fiat job, but that feels right for me… for right now. Taking opportunities to share it with no-/new-coiners, when the moments arise 🤝
The Booth bomb I got from that episode with @walker was this: protocols come around a lot less frequently than applications, and thus people frequently confuse the two. If you analyze bitcoin as an application, you’ll massively undervalue it because as an app it can’t do it all. Bitcoin only achieves its full measure as the base of a stack of layered protocols.
