Thanks for your input, everyone. Even though the 9th vote broke the tie in favor of "YES", that's not a statistically significant number of votes... it's essentially a tie. So I'm going to hold off for now.

I also just watched a long-form interview in which this person displayed that (at least as of 2021) they didn't buy the fundamental value of having a currency with fixed supply. In fact, they actively decried it, stating that: "storing value is not a good thing." The interview also reinforced my general impression that they are, as some might put it, a "statist cuck".

My fear is that nudging them on this might backfire... I could see them perceiving this new wave of studies as legitimizing something that they see as an unmitigated evil, inspiring them to use their platform to attack us.

Not worth the risk right now, imo.
