Haha, I coulda taken him for sure, which is not really saying much… but yeah, I’m not sure the punishment would have fit the crime here… I’m trying to brush up on my figurative ass whupping for next time.
I'm kidding, of course. I'm more likely to be the whupee than whupper anyway. Seriously, though, I have noticed now that I try to attend more in person meetups that I can't assume everyone thinks like me. That's maybe why I'm more comfortable here. I notice that NGU is prime, people think I'm nuts if I say anything negative about ETFs, and they can't believe I would spend my bitcoin.

I figured as much. You don’t meet too many violent bitcoiners. I’m with you on the value of being around people that challenge you. The thing that made this unbearable was his propensity to talk over everybody and just not shut up. I think @grayruby hit the nail on the head with my issue. If I had just said, “wait until I’m done and we can argue then,” the whole thing would have probably gone better. But I knee-jerked a rebuttal and everything fell apart. Part of the problem was, I agreed that the DOJ and FBI might try to further crack down on this stuff. He just didn’t share our ideals on wanting to push back.

Indeed like @grayruby mentioned the best way to moderate this kind of behavior is to refer to questions and discussions after you finishes your talk. To make it easier it would be Nice to have somebody with you that moderates the interaction with the public so its easier to keep it clean and simple. Or make make a list also with possible behavior and counters reactions . 🙏🍀 good luck with all your beautiful adventures 🚀
