I have greatly limited the amount, if any, that I play games. I was quite addicted for years. My friend group is setting up to play D&D and now all I think about is planning stuff for that, lol. It's been a fun distraction from the news and an excuse to chat with my friends more at least!

Libertarians and perma-bulls have done more damage to Bitcoin adoption then most things, my own personal experience. Libertarians being incredibly rude and stand-offish dissuade otherwise agreeable people from considering Bitcoin. And perma-bulls set people up for failure with the dips.

Too much idealism. Bitcoin is math.

"Oh but if they're too stupid to get it then they don't deserve it." Okay well, then stop complaining about number-go-down and adoption if you are scaring normal people off. If Bitcoin is money for everyone, that includes normal people too. Normal people like it when you are nice to them.

Words have no inherent meaning. They are vehicles to convey meaning, but are not meaningful in and of themselves.

There is a layer of interpretation and understanding that connects one mind to another. If you do not recognize this connection you will talk past other people, forever. The author of whatever text you read will be dead, forever.
