What I do with my own time and money does not concern Mr Nicholas Weaver.
sure, but that's such a childish response
But it's true. I don't need to justify how and why I spend my money.
Why are you taking this guy's opinion so weirdly personal?
It's the attitude I have a problem with: some people are so arrogant that they think it's ok to decide for others.
I don't think anyone is deciding for you. Someone commenting on a subject doesn't inherently imply they're making decisions for the people related to said subject.
You don't need to, but it would be healthy.
It absolutely does, because if you're dabbling in crypto, it affects others too
