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.

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.
Since returning, I have released several culminations of my work in learning how Bitcoin works and why it works that way. I feel that I understand the economic design in a way that still most others do not.
But...
I am thrilled to say that I see real understanding in a significant number of people who are directly building real, valuable products, and who are dedicated to the creation of Bitcoin as it ought to be, and ought to have been.
