If I sometimes speak with an air of authority, despite now being almost a nocoiner—yes, I have been around for awhile.

Aside, I must express my supreme contempt for the petty narcissists who think that the important thing about Bitcoin is for them to throw their weight around on an Internet forum.  Ultimately, they don’t matter; in 20 years, it will be as if they never existed.  But meanwhile, they are both annoying and disgusting:  They don’t care about Bitcoin.

With all due apologies—will still be later.  Well, I’ll try.  It seems I fall behind WO to the point that I can’t catch up.

Other important things are being ignored, because that one point you said just jumped out at me while I was peeking in here...  I dropped all else to address it with a little essay that wound up rambling a bit, because I am in haste, etc., etc.  It’s that important.
