 If even Peter McCuckmack can go from leftist to right-libertarian with enough exposure, then why does anyone whatsoever care about Trey and his ilk of leftards?

McCuck had one of the biggest podcasts in Bitcoin. He worked out after much effort that messaging to “progressives” didn’t yield money in Bitcoin.

Even he reverted to conservatism about that which he knew best. Even he saw the bureaucratic behaviour as a cabal of his enemies.

McCuck was a proper leftist and he had to change to survive.

Trey is a proper leftist who doesn’t want to change - he wants to change leftists to agree with him.

Trey’s podcast failed. It has ended not by choice but because he couldn’t get “progressives” onboard to agree with him.

Neither is a hero. 

And I’ve voiced my disagreement with McCuck plenty but I will say - fuck Trey with a cactus 😄

This space is not for progressives. It’s for right-libertarians here to separate money and state once and for all.

Trey doesn’t want that. He wants to co-opt  Bitcoin for progressive ends and he can shove that right up his progressive arse and if you don’t agree, go suck Saylor’s fiat dick.
