You are a brave person, thanks for sharing.

I've been meaning to try and fix the wikipedia article again. I last did that and got into an obnoxious fight with jytdog. I heard a couple months ago that he dox'd and called to harass a wikipedian and then deleted his account ahead of anticipated punitive action. Without that person spending 80 hours a week to advocate his particularly narrow anti-plant medicine interpretation of what is correct with regards to medicine, biochemistry, and pharmacology on wikipedia, editing it again might actually accomplish something. I think I and many other editors that went up against jytdog are still carrying trauma that makes me reluctant to reengage but it's about time to try.
Ping me sometime for coffee if you are in Boston, I am a real person. Stay safe out there
Cheers. I'm in the Bay Area and don't make it east too often (Love Burn Miami is happening though!), happy to meet for coffee in SF/Oakland next time you come out these ways.

Frankly, I've been in the legal drug space running www.getkratom.com for 13 years and things are fine because the plant actually is so profoundly safe. Orrin Hatch plus lots of veterans of the US armed forces calling their representatives is what saved it from a federal ban. It already went through that due process and didn't get banned.

Running a crypto hedge fund feels more dangerous to me in many ways that my simple, though controversial, ecommerce business. :) I'm doing fine and must like living on the edge.

I have been in the crypto space for several years now, I like living a bit on the edge myself :)

I’ll message you if I come to SF, I don’t travel as much as I used to, too many responsibilities at home now a days. Glad your business is safe!

Tip - most of the major traders I know are incorporated offshore now, just makes things easier.
