Dear Chris,

I think you've made history. You say here you're not a good musician, but I think your songs say otherwise. I've always been addicted to music myself and of many dif styles, but not so much into folk until I hard your song. Its been listened at elast a hundred times and I still get goosebumps.

You have made history mister, wether you like it or not, in the true sense of the word. I think I've never witnessed that an absolute nobody has reached the exploding phenomenon that Rich Men North of Richmond has had. Your voice, the lyrics are powerful like few things in this often shallow world. I remember when I heard about it through Rabbit Hole Recap (npub10ut…xdlq) and followed the number of listeners on spotify. Amazing! from 100k in the first week all the way to 200 million !!! I think smth like this has never happened in the history of humanity

Here comes the interesting part: as you say that the Internet is "a parasite" and not a net benefit for humans. I see its just a technology that can be used in different ways, but over time it trends towards the better and we can see it through e.g. the reach your music has had. That wouldn't have been possible before the world wide web. People are waking up in masses, more than we tend to think bc humans generally can't see exponential developments. Now honest ppl with a story to tell like journalist, doctors, blue collars, bitcoiners, austrian economists, have a plaform and cause impact on hugr numbers of ppl. Damn, I wouldn't be not even a 10% of the positive person I am today without it. My improvements came thanks to clear signal. It takes time but if you are hyper determined to grasp the truth you'll find it in the online noise.

Also, as you know, we live in a system that has increasingly rotten over a whole 20th century and I believe the cultural garbage we see on the web is a result of that. Call me too much of an optimist, but I believe gradually, then suddently internet & bitcoin will helped hugely to realign humanity to its true common sense balance it desperately needs, not the other way around.


I'm a nobody. But from a whole soul to another whole soul, I'd like to send you two books in particular that may put your views towards the internet and faith in the future like it did to me. I kind of felt with you there when you refer to the internet as a parasite, bc those were my thought back in time.

Thanks for your creations, Chris, from the depest sense of the heart. I hope you feel proud of what you do/did, bc thats an achievement very few man can reach. Faith in humanity, thanks in part to stories like yours.

I appreciate you. Hope you are well
