Bankless · Is Bitcoin Going According to Plan? Gold, Saylor, Satoshi | Dan Held · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

I don't think the boomers, most boomers, I think, are kind of too far gone.

They're too set in their ways.

And so as the famous quote goes, science progresses at the death of every scientist.

Well, I guess every invention before, though, had the same same effect.

You know, after going through this myself with Bitcoin and then, you know, six years ago, I invested in SpaceX, which had a lot of similar, I would say, like very like a lot of intense feelings in a negative manner towards the concept.

After going through this experience myself, I really have this empathy for every single inventor or artist before us.

Like, can you imagine?

Most people were never recognized for their contributions, whether it be science or art, until after they died.

Imagine living a whole life like this.

At least we were validated that we were right.

But imagine living a whole life and everyone is just ridiculing you all the time.

Like, it's like Bitcoin and ETH being at super low prices your entire life.

Yeah.

You know, at least we had moments where, like, we definitely had our victory laps where everyone who was a critic was coming back and saying, hey, you guys were right.

So, yeah.

And again, like I said, I have deep sympathy for every inventor or critical thinker or contrarian thinker before us.

Yeah.

You know, there's some funny things as well where, you know, his proof of work, his whole energy memes, you know, he's mentioned before that like, oh, you know, a lot of what I learned about Bitcoin is from Dan.

So I've seen some weird after effects of like, I think his take on energy is a little too cosmic, a little bit esoteric.

Let's put it that way.
