In 2016-17 I was traumatized because I realized that no one I knew valued what I did. I completely believed in Bitcoin and I thought that my ideas meant something. I learned that my ideas were only valued in terms of how they could promote the BTC agenda.

I started recovering in 2018 because of the trip to Iceland which I was invited on, which is recorded here https://streamanity.com/video/3u5UwUXhcxE3Re
That was a traumatizing time. If it weren't for BCH I would have rage quit "crypto". Effing BTCers celebrating high fees was ridiculous. And they didn't see a problem with a full mempool either. Insanity. I have PTSD from it.
Sorry! I think I'm ready to recover.
Me too. Mostly it manifests as a deep cynicism that will only be better after Genesis.
Honestly I think that is partially due to the overvaluation of people who were active in social media. I, like many people who read and supported you, were not social media personalities, resulting in our appreciation not getting to you effectively.
i disagree. after Genesis 1 most people remained motivated purely by self-interest 😛
My guess is that there is a lot of preference falsification going on now. Many people will be shocked at how quickly the crypto community will appear to flip from BTC. https://youtu.be/xzjqjU2FOwA
How does it feel now that you are surrounded by people who value your ideas?
Better.
I for one have found signficant intellectual pleasure from hours of your content. Not only thought provoking, but uniquely entertaining.
It's very clear you put great care into what you do.
This is a good explanation for why CSW won't sign and end the debate. People want to make lazy money off him being Satoshi but by refusing & staying stoic, he forces the intelligence test to be played. People can get value out of BSV by passing the test.
