No, not at all. My main thesis has been all along that Bitcoin is an interesting monetary technology and that it offers many advantages over fiat and the traditional banking system, and that it's smart to own some, especially if you're concerned about censorship or runaway monetary inflation.
Funnily enough, a separate conversation arose in which we were discussing the runaway US debt, and someone said, "But what are the alternatives to the US treasury?" And after a brief silence, I said, "Buy bitcoin?" And everyone laughed and were like "Maybe, maybe."
