 Hello Jeff, it’s seems more recently you always mention the caveat:

“if bitcoin can remain decentralized and secure”

It seems like you are being more cautious or hedging a bit.

Of course it has to stay decentralized and secure.  Who would want a centralized, insecure blockchain token?

You are essentially saying:

“Bitcoin will not fail as long as Bitcoin does not fail,” or…

“Bitcoin will succeed if Bitcoin succeeds.”

I don’t know, just seems like your confidence in Bitcoin is either shaken, or you are giving yourself an exit stage left, opt out type legal clause.

Nonetheless, Wishing you the best.


Any thoughts on the point I am trying to make?


Thanks for helping bitcoin along.
