Very interesting, thank you Efrat and Natalie.

FYI, next Sunday (April 28th), I relase on Substack the first pages of my new novel in progress (I am a French Writer), and it begins with the Pfizer fiasco in Israel !

It will be in English (link below), and I'd love to have your remarks and comments on Sunday morning :

Hi Efrat. I hung on for some months, but now I'm unsubscribing because I just don't care much about Bitcoin, and have plenty of other outlets to find out about it if I did.

I had subscribed because I wanted to support your reporting from Israel on the 10/7 terror operation and subsequent long-planned mass murder operation in Gaza. I just don't see much of that here. Should I be following you on Telegram or something?

I do feel a bit baited-and-switched, honestly. But of course you should do what you think is right, and maybe this Bitcoin schtick is paying your bills when you've run out of things to say about the "war". Or maybe you really believe that Bitcoin is going to solve some big root problems. I disagree about that, if so, but respect your choice and wish you well.

Hi Shy Boy, thanks for your message.

I appreciate your support so far, and respect your choice to unsubscribe.

I am not deceiving anyone, I am focusing on the topics I find interesting and important, and not just on topics people would like me to cover. I fully understand that my choices and interests may not align with everyone's, that is completely natural and healthy. I never promised to be just a "war journalist", and while I understand your expectation, it's not who I am. I cover a variety of topics including health, climate, economics, and from time to time bring the Israeli updates where it's relevant for me.

Re. bitcoin - it's way more than a "shtick" for me, it's a real solution to many of the world's problems, but I don't expect everyone to get that or dive into it, although it could change life for the better if people did. By covering the world from a "bitcoin angle", I am exposing a new way of looking at life for my audience, and as mentioned, I understand and "take the risk" it will not resonate with everyone, like it doesn't with you.

I wish you well on your journey too. Take care.
