Oddbean new post about login | logout If he puts the fear into people, like he talked about, they'll dump their BTC to buy an ETF. When they dump the price drops. Guess who buys it up? Notice how this comes when the price is up? Remember when J Diamond talked shit before buying a bunch for himself? I think it's just self serving. He has to know the 'they never seized anyone's gold' line was a bunch of BS half truth.
He has said many many times, “buy Bitcoin. don’t sell your Bitcoin.” This is good advice, sincerely given, I think. Anyway, he is not the ceo of Bitcoin. He has a view just like everyone else. I think he is dialed in to the community enough to know that ODELL and other bitcoin cultural leaders will not fall for the headfake. Fiat people will be appeased, and Bitcoiners will be resolute. Staying humble, :-)
