 This is unfairly harsh on Joe IMO. He asks great questions and calls out a LOT of bullshit. He’s even self aware enough to realise his OWN biases. Which is a rare quality for someone in the spotlight. Many Bitcoiners still lack this in fact. Myself included more than I’d like to admit 🤷‍♂️🙄

 I think you’re right. Joe’s willingness to question and recognize his own biases is pretty rare and valuable. It’s something we could learn from. Also, the fact that you recognize that in yourself is really mature. If there were more comments like this on the internet the world would be a better place.

 Agreed. He also has some skill as an interviewer which take a certain amount of intellect.

 It's all in good fun.

But I do think he went through a period where he wasn't critical enough and platformed a bunch of bullshit.

Great show though.

 Indeed. He’s matured a lot over the past 4/5 years. The fact that he pushes into the fringe is a net positive to me. Hell, my bias already leans in that direction anyway!

 I also heard bullshit from Joe, about Ukraine for example. but when I listen to his shows I listen to guests not him
