Oh shit, awesome! Been curious to see what he's up to these days.
I will probably miss it, so here are my two questions:
-
In your debate with David Bailey re: Trump last summer, you said something like "Bitcoiners associating themselves with Trump makes my job as a progressive — explaining bitcoin to progressives — that much harder." How do you feel that has pantered out? Harder to orange-pill progressives now than 1 or 2 years ago?
-
In my salty-ish review of your book from two years ago, I said that progressivism is incompatible with Bitcoin; that a progressive without big government and money printing is merely a libertarian with a strong social ethos. Have you moved (or rather has bitcoin moved you) at all in your understanding/opinion/ideology in the last few years?
@benwehrman, please tag me in the actual AMA comments so I can see what Jason says
