 Agree. 

> Crypto, on the other hand, is fiat on steroids. Worse, it is fiat on methamphetamines. It is the belief that honest money doesn't matter, which is why every project, every person, every exchange, every network, every system, every community, and every jpg needs its own separate form of money. It's economic nihilism.

 Imaginary, orange internet coins are worth more than all the silver in the world 
 I wrote this letter so I have a link to send when friends & family reach out to me, as they inevitably do during ATH periods. I hope it's useful for some of you too. https://dergigi.com/2020/04/27/dear-family-dear-friends/ 
 Fun fact: I stopped orange-pilling as soon as I decided to write this letter, with very (very) few exceptions. 
 It's very likely that this letter orange-pilled more people than I could ever manage in person, so it was a fantastic decision and I highly recommend writing as a scalability technology.

 "This man beside us also has a hard fight with an unfavouring world, with strong temptations, with doubts and fears, with wounds of the past which have skinned over, but which smart when they are touched. It is a fact, however surprising. And when this occurs to us we are moved to deal kindly with him, to bid him be of good cheer, to let him understand that we are also fighting a battle; we are bound not to irritate him, nor press hardly upon him nor help his lower self."
