 BTW: I can't zap you 
 No one can yet. I want to wait until I set it up in a very specific way, which has taken quite a bit longer than I thought it would 😅 
 I demand zapisfaction ser

 WEDGE: Did you get the Zap?!

Dimi: Son, we live in a world that has digital walls, and those walls need to be protected by encryption and decentralization. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Wedge?
I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You celebrate financial freedom, and you curse the central banks. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that financial censorship, while tragic, probably saves lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, secures freedom.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that blockchain, you need me on that blockchain.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty... we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very financial freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a node and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Wedge : Did you order the Zap?!
Dimi: um later
