I know many people want me to be “the progressive bitcoiner” guy to reach the left. I keep trying to stick it out, but I have to move on at the end of this year. I’m exhausted.

A huge segment of the left see “Bitcoin” and just aren’t here yet to get it.

I hope with rebooting money they’ll still be able to learn, and that it can even be a bigger thing and platform. I just can’t be “that guy” any more when I don’t believe and am quite repulsed by our current failed political, two party system in the U.S. Bitcoin is a paradigm shift, there’s no pretending it’s not.

Doesn’t mean rebooting money won’t be a place for mainstream, normal audiences! But I hope it can appeal to a wide audience, and not pretend to be steeped in current politics that are so petty and small and a huge distraction compared to what I hope for the future to be.

Be yourself, Trey. The Left will catch up. Or they won't. It's their choice.

Great decision. Based on what I’ve heard on your podcast, most of the values you hold dear as “progressive” are just about being a good person. Caring for those who have less than you, trying to change structural injustice, etc. Political parties want you to think they are the keepers of these...

Just listened a bit to your recent one with Hodl, from my view the problem is that still all the same confusing concepts are being used (left-right progressive liberal conservative etc). They are an attack on clarity and when you keep using them, it shows you are still addicted to them.

Sounds great. Follow your heart and instinct! Bitcoin can be a trigger word for many on the left, and if they don’t want to get it, that’s up to them.
