You should pursue it. I have trouble articulating what I would like to see, but we need a new kind of literature for bitcoin. Real journalism is dead with a few exceptions. You could use the beats and maybe Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe as inspiration, but bitcoin needs its own voices with their own style.
Journalism media seems to pitch one against another and it’s so reactive - it’s usually video clips, sound bites or headline.
I have tried to write some longer essays - they were around ‘fiat thinking’ seeping into the arts, health or education but they read terribly. And I don’t want to waste time fighting with people over it.
Would long form semi-autobiographical pieces work better? They would certainly be different. Honestly, I’m not sure I have either talent nor story to tell and I certainly don’t possess the writing ability!
I’ll have a think. If I get the chance I promise you will read it here first.

You won't know if you don't try. It sounds like you're young, so you have the time to grow. You're smart and well read. I look forward to reading your stuff.

Well, kind of you to say but I’m not that young! With that in mind and time-a-wasting I better get in with it if I’m going to do it. Thank you for your encouragement.

Everyone seems young to me. Onward and upward!
