I’m displeased with the Russell Brand/Rumble CEO conversation at the Bitcoin conference. It’s troubling to hear Brand speak about Rumble as if it’s decentralized and for him to compare it to Bitcoin. I’m open to changing my mind if anyone has thoughts.
Rumble is a competitor to Youtube that has had a de facto monopoly the space. When a real alternative pops up, this means that a decentralisation has taken place. It is not particularly hard to understand
I’m talking about decentralized technology vs centralized platforms. It is not particularly hard to understand the difference.
So what is the problem then? There is a word spelled PRAGMATISM, that is useful, just saying
Oh gosh I thought Russell was great. Very humble and willing to learn more I think. Rumble is doing a good job and will hopefully integrate with Nostr in future. They are building out real storage servers with their business and that infrastructure is important to have outside Google’s control. I believe Russell Brand is an important voice for liberty and a crucial tool for salvaging what’s left of the (Anti-Authoritarian) “Liberal” mindscape.
He knows where his bread is buttered.
