If using/owning cryptocurrencies gets more legally or technically complicated in coming years, we might all be in the same boat of deciding it isn't worth the time or effort. Also, he's not forbidden from relating to his audience by his success, or a number his bank account that has often changed the personality and priorities of other celebrities. He's kind and fair and encouraging, which all point to him _not_ believing he's better than us. So he can say "you and me" because he feels that there is a him and us, just like I feel. After founding it all and setting a tone that is obviously good, he's not a substandard member of his own community just because he gets paid - what do you want him to do, reject the paycheck?

Game 2 is a prime example of never losing track of what your opponent is doing.

[@iamtheiconoclast3]

Levy, you have too much confidence in us. As an ~1100, I can promise you that _several_ of my games are this bad - complete with hanging knights and bringing the bishop out too soon and allowing the queen to eat two pawns and a rook before I get control back again. In fact, I literally did that _this morning._ I also sometimes play games where I murder my opponent and then the computer tells me I played at 89% accuracy for 35 moves. We 1100s are often surprisingly crafty, but we're extremely inconsistent. We didn't get to be 1100 by playing like an 1100; we got to be 1100 by playing like an 1800 64% of the time and like a golden retriever the other 36%.

The lack of cuts on his pre-filmed content (i.e. not taken from a Twitch stream but filmed explicitly for KZbin) goes to show he has nothing to hide and isn’t just putting on a performative persona.
