“And I just don’t know how anyone is experiencing that and watching bitcoin go up by $1000 a day sitting on the sidelines and saying Ah! Yeah, that’s normal! That’s not normal - that’s insane.”

@verretor were you setting up matrix channels the other day?

First step is to build up a bit of a map of the space and key concepts needed to appreciate Bitcoin.
Inflation and anarchy 1 pagers are there (very simplified) with money coming soon.

awesome shell one liner by @[email protected] for getting the bitcoin whitepaper from your full node:
bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713 | sed 's/0100000000000000/\n/g' | tail -n +2 | cut -c7-136,139-268,271-400 | tr -d '\n' | cut -c17-368600 | xxd -p -r > bitcoin.pdf

get the bitcoin whitepaper directly from the utxoset. This works on a pruned node:
seq 0 947 | (while read -r n; do bitcoin-cli gettxout 54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713 $n | jq -r '.scriptPubKey.asm' | awk '{ print $2 $3 $4 }'; done) | tr -d '\n' | cut -c 17-368600 | xxd -r -p > bitcoin-test.pdf
Starting to feel like when we talk about government control of money we could simplify matters by just saying.

People think government is magic and incorruptible, but when you point out that its really a few humans in charge they get that the incentives to be corrupt start to make a lot of sense.
