Oddbean new post about login | logout You can be anti-bitcoin but a bitcoiner in spirit. And vice versa. For example: Whitney Webb vs Donald Trump There is a difference between being ignorant with a good heart and smart with bad intentions FEW UNDERSTAND nostr:nevent1qqs8wkl4ah2um8n6fzxw9j07r6ks6a30wk09vn6q45axkqwk7g4rcqqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsrhnzkx2jww5y48gspd7v34kx2avvvuafhhqhjtc3vp0fmjqpa3wqrqsqqqqqp60wetf
So how can you prove that shes one and not that other? You cant. Checkmate.
Wym?
Exactly what i said, how can you prove shes ignorant with a good heart and even worse a smart person with bad intentions? You vant prove that she is or isnt either one of those positions.
I never said I can prove anything. It is my opinion that she is ignorant about Bitcoin and also has a good heart. I can't prove it lol. I could easily be wrong. And I was making a separate point which stands regardless of whether or not I'm right about Webb or Trump. 👌💯
And the answer, to me, is always further discussion rather than try shut it down.
She 100% ignorant about bitcoin, she leans on mark for that part but alot of her takes are heavily researched nonsense with 0 ability to conclude anything outside of doomerism. Ive yet to see anything shes produced that has any direction or meaning about it at all. Its important that if youre going to propagate some message you are able to discern about what it is you make the connections. Shes solid on the first 2 parts but misses so hard on the last.
She loves to doom-monger but it’s clear she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Her recent post about big banks and spooky cadres is the perfect example - she projects the current parasite class using Bitcoin as a vehicle to enslave the world with zero consideration of how those parasites have to deal with a set of rules which they cannot change and are completely foreign to them, and what other early Bitcoin HODLers, the blackflag anarchist types, who would be newly rich would do if these people did try such a thing. If she can’t apply game theory to her future projections then there’s no point listening to her.
I said she's wrong about Bitcoin? And you are entitled to think that. I personally think a lot of the research she did on Peter Thiel was eye-opening
