 Some good push back from Joe on the typical nonsense spewed about Bitcoin on these types of programs.

https://v.nostr.build/XZzl.mp4 
 Fuck Gary Gensler. 
 Feels like these people live under a rock 
 Do they...
at least...
SMELL
what's cooking?



... i'll get my coat. XD 
 Joe needs to run his own node. He would’ve been more prepared to debunk Gensler. 
 He is IN 
 He was saying Bitcoins gonna stay at 50k forever last week lol 
 Me too nostr:nevent1qqs84hczk64xe94q9zuas7e7gm033vahpa7afnlsj89g9jad7agtw0cpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzpyn823wjj9acpac8lld5f28lj7gcy45w77a2qnh826clq82wx6y2qvzqqqqqqy530ya7 
 "it's just an accounting ledger."  
"so you trust it more than an Oracle database?"

just kinda has the feel of the church laughing at the invention of the printing press 
 The worst part is, Gensler knows FOR SURE that what he's saying is objectively false.  It's pure malice and marching to his orders.  
 Your statement is the salient point here. Why is never checked with video evidence of his own words when lecturing at MIT. It’s so disgusting to listen to vile rubbish. And salty Sorkin reviles me. 
 🎯 Power seeking. 
 THE SUITS HAVE NO CLOTHES! 
 Fair play Joe  
 Why is Gensler claiming that bitcoin is not decentralized? 
 Because he is  a 🤡 mentioning the exchanges as a reason like it has anything to do with the protocol.  
 He is deliberately lying for political purposes 
 Because that is what he’s been told to do. 
 Sadly ETF’s kinda make it somewhat centralized. 
 If this is who we are up against; bullish! 
 Absolutely agree here. If there's anyone who's a total puppet but that DOES understand how btc works very well it's Gary fucking Gensler. This is the best they've got: FUD from the year dot. As Preston said: trying to stop bitcoin is like trying to prevent the sun from rising. Good fucking luck Gary.  
 Joe's up 130% this year. 🤣🤙🫂💜
Be like joe.

 He did a very good job.

But I’m waiting for people like him to start talking about financing warfare as the primary use case of fiat. Like 2/3 of British bonds for WW1 were secretly paid for by the central bank. And I’m pretty sure the military industrial complex prefers fiat for their money laundering. 
 Bald guy doesn't seem very intelligent. 
 Its insane to say accurate accounting has no value. An intentionally inaccurate accounting ledger is what makes Enron such a terrible fraud, and a key purpose of the SEC is to ensure accurate accounting through public filings. if that accounting accuracy work is not valuable we should dissolve the SEC 
 Gary is obfuscating. He totally understands bitcoin. He’s just spouting this nonsense to make his boss happy and get promoted. 
 LFG Joe! 
 Wasn't this guy supposed to be fired after his fiasco hearing before the congress? Why isn't he gone already? 
 Gensler was told to ok etfs, he’s just a pawn. Just another attack on Bitcoin. The tokenisation of everything and they want it all 
 Joe is doing great work 
 Bitcoin is NOT the number one payment method for ransomware. That's actually Monero. Fake news. No one called him out. 
 Haters keep hating. Fuck em more sats for us. 
 Oof, did you hear that sneaky dig? "You trust it more than an Oracle database?"

A database will do whatever it's user commands. It's a dumb ledger. Bitcoin is almost a living ledger. It doesn't just do what it's users' say, it follows rules and it is naturally regulated through the power of consensus.

So fuck yeah I trust it more than I trust an Oracle database controlled by some wankers at the bank. 
 Try to do ransomware on CREDIT 


😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣 
 I use sats to pay for my coffee.  
I earn sats for the work I do.
I am my own central bank. 

The sat-based economy I am a part of is growing by the hour. #grownostr #coffeechain 

Your arguments are invalid.

 if you can point me to someone who lets me buy leite de cabra in batches of 60x1L and goat meat that has been properly hung and dried (not immediately frozen and full of blood) i'd be very interested to engage with this person and do some business

might even prompt me to start running a LN node 
 This Jamie Dimon? https://unlimitedhangout.com/2023/03/investigative-series/the-rise-of-jamie-dimon/

+ Gensler knowing way more than this drivel via his MIT course?

Aaron included.

Power seeking fiat protectionists. There is little else to explain it. 

👏 Joe 
 This is fucking great... Joe's not taking Gary's bullshit.

 I wanna hear Gary explain at length why he thinks bitcoin is centralized instead of hide behind the five minute talk show sound byte machine 
 Joe gets it! 
 Suggesting bitcoin is centralized because some people put it on exchanges is kinda wild for a guy who just spent like 6 months looking at it for etf approval. That's either dishonest or an impressive misunderstanding of what makes it decentralized. 
 joe is on his way to ascension. 
 Joe going hard for a legacy talking head!  
 The thing is, Gary is actually very knowledgeable about bitcoin.  He taught a college course about bitcoin.  He knows why its very valuable.  He just chooses to downplay bitcoin because that's his job 
 Legend. 
 Wow. Gensler almost has a full opinion, regardless of being wrong. Who is feeding him this "it's just an accounting ledger, a set of books" meme? The feds are still blind from denial. 
 Has anyone heard of Ember ? You can cloudmine Sats Daily I get about $35  a month for basically doing nothing.

All you do is click the mine button once every 24 hours. You'll get a notification when you're mining. Session needs to be reinitiated.

It's fun 😊

REMEMBER: Don't be greedy SATS WILL BE WORTH SOMETHING ONE DAY.

 "Do you trust (blockchain ledger) more than an Oracle database?" Hahahaha 
 Is it just me, or does Blue Tie have one lizard eye?
