RE: Internet Having a Field Day With Peter Schiff

I reckon you are being overly kind to me, which I do appreciate. Personally, I think my comment was ageist and offensive, which is regrettable, and it wasn't my intention to accuse you of being those things. It was my intention to convince you to not be those things, because I know you want BTC and crypto to deeply and instantly penetrate the broadest possible market for all the right reasons.

I wanted you to grasp how we dinosaurs see the problems with BTC, and that non-crypto boomers will identify with Schiff's claimed status, and the ridicule heaped on him. Putting folks in that position will instill in them greater resistance to crypto, which I also want to see in everyone's wallets and pockets to the greatest extent possible as quickly as can be done.

I prolly should have said it better, but as you certainly are aware, I dunno how to make brief pithy comments that get points across. I also don't know Schiff from Adam, and from all I've heard of him in the last day or two, am glad of that.

Most crypto folks just ignore that he didn't claim to forget his pass, but that the mechanism that accessed his BTC was somehow corrupted, which is something highly relatable to folks less familiar with computers than you and I, and damn familiar to me as well. Whether that is true or not, non computer folks are going to feel every barb and insult heaped on Schiff and strongly identify with how his specific report is being ignored and he is being accused of failing to secure his pass.

It's prolly too late for me to head that PR problem off anyway.

Thanks for not biting my head off.
