For a long time, I suffered from imposter syndrome. I was an enthusiast, I studied economics for fun, etc. Who the hell am I to tell others how all of this works?
I used that as fuel to educate myself further, more deeply.

Eventually, I realized that I was one of the few people I'd ever encountered who had the right background knowledge and methodology to understand Bitcoin on a deep level, at least where the economics were concerned.

This isn't a boast, or to say I totally get Bitcoin. I still learn something new every day. Part of this was that I hadn't yet encountered those who were also capable of this. Now, I feel I'm in far better company.
For a time, I thought that I was in enough company, and that I could halt my public efforts.
See, I don't like being "popular," or being an "influencer" (not that I am either.) I don't want a ton of attention on me.
So, I got off Twitter for a bit.
I felt at one point that I was in enough company that I could step back and focus on myself, to get a little wiser, etc. and I wrote this article then went private on Twitter: https://www.yours.org/content/a-reflection-044c7e73f6d7
Then I watched as the "Hash War" played out.
So many of those I thought "got it" were rooting for BCH's checkpoints, celebrating that they "forked CSW off their network."
Fools. Such fools...
I returned to public on Twitter, reluctantly, but with a plan to keep myself in check. I mostly failed, but there was improvement, and I'm far better and far wiser than I once was.
Hopefully I'll look back on this and agree with my present self.
