Because of you, I have been able to take a more reasonable view of bitcoin over the past couple of years. My arguments have been made stronger by the fire you have forged them in.

Because of you, I have been able to weigh my exuberance with some healthy skepticism. It has lead to a deeper understanding of money as a whole.

Because of certain shill-trolls pestering me with insightful insults of Bitcoin, I was able to see the value of Monero when I encountered it. I recognized that perhaps Bitcoin wouldn't/couldn't be the end-all/be-all ledger for civilization.

Because of you, I don't feel like I'm losing my mind when I'm totally surrounded by naive support of anarchy and criminal enterprise.

Because of you I am undoubtedly more famous than I would be without.

Most importantly, because of you I have learned to deal with heckling - a necessary skill for what lies ahead.

So thank you buttholes. Merry Christmas.
