it can be both, though. As in, down happens and doesn't break my conviction, but up is still great.

I mean, I still live on this earth, I don't have offspring and never will, so my stack isn't just decoration. I would never flee out of it to anything else that offers less decentralizaction, less freedom from barriers (i.e., ANYTHING else).

But at the same time, it's not art on the wall. Being able to live with/off it is part of the whole package.
