I remember watching Bitcoin drop from $30 to $2. And not buying a fuckton at $2. And selling a bunch before it hit $100. So a drop below $30,000 doesn't even register on my radar at this point.

Between 2015 and 2017, the Bitcoin network was relentlessly attacked. If not for this man, it is very likely we would not have Bitcoin today. Enough Bitcoin lip service from Twitter. Bring @LukeDashjr back. Let's see who is real and who is fake in this fight.

In my view, cryptocurrency is about the separation of money and state, not about the abolition of the state. The abolition of the state and generalized dispute resolution protocols are well outside the scope of cryptocurrency.
