RE: Bitcoin to $64k in August? Problematic No-Coiners, Tezos Launch, Crypto-Colonialism, Pineapple Fund

We can always count on a certain segment of academia for new terms that politicize and bring divisiveness to the conversation. This is true especially when new ideas bring opportunities, real solutions, and challenges to the status quo that help the economically disadvantaged. "crypto-colonialization" sounds like one of those terms created as a way to foment FUD against the clear disruptive tech that is crypto/blockchain.

I also agree with you on the crypto "lingo". I try to stay away from HODL, FUD, nocoiner etc.. unless it's use is relevant and productive for discussion like this one. Like you said - it's tribal separation. I call it "wearing your team jersey" so others know you're a part of an exclusive group.

I think you and your channel are so successful because you communicate maturely and the info you present is well-balanced. Thank you Ivan for encouraging healthy, stimulating conversation!
