what did you reply? I think it is nice that he wants to talk to you about Bitcoin :D it is time to sell? hehe Good idea to not discuss about politics with good friends. Friends are better than politics. Politicians constantly lie everywhere while you can always trust a good friend.

He knows I had some interest in bitcoin a few years ago. I have never spoken of it again with him because his unhinged hostility to bitcoin pissed me off, and there's nothing uglier than two old friends fighting. So, he probably thinks I have a passing interest. He sends a long stream of political texts all day long. This was just one of many. Even our friends who agree with his politics usually delete his texts unopened.

This is a bi-product of watching TV news all day. They keep people spun up constantly. People get used to the feeling of being mad. I wonder if he realizes how good of a friend he has in you.

And lest I sound elitist. Many of us have this issue. It might be Twitter, it might be Nostr, it might be Facebag. It might even be SN. Life is to short to spend worrying about things that are not in your sphere of influence or control. But most of us do it. Some more than others. I know I'm trying to do it less and focus more on what I control. Constant battle to not be distracted by noise.
