Love the podcast! Found a link on JB's Matrix chats and just took part in Chris's AMA. Wanted to show the show some love. You're talking about boosts *right now* as I play this episode. Cool!

This idea, "Why send $5 worth of Bitcoin when it might be worth more down the line.", seems kinda dumb to me. What's the difference if I just donate $5 fiat? Does the fact you're using BTC really matter? Would you worry over sending fiat because you could have bought yourself some BTC instead? Do you fret over whether Bitcoin Dad is going to take that fivver and buy himself BTC with it? If your sats are worth $5 when you send them, then what's the difference? Psychology? Sigh...
