Oddbean new post about login | logout yeah something is off with her she doesnt provide solutions just telling long stories about the evil but i want live
I think her work is well researched and people are afraid to examine her skepticism on the basis she may be right about some things. Most Bitcoiners aren't providing solutions either, other than buy bitcoin and chill. That's not really a refutation of her work, and I think it's important to maintain a little skepticism of everything, no matter how much conviction you have for it.
All I see on nostr are bitcoiners trying to build, no one is chilling here. Her greatest concerns seem to be that the bad guys use it, which is literally a meme phrase (bitcoin is for enemies) so idk does she want censorship or communism?
I should have criticised the post further. The framing of the tweet suggest she is against Bitcoin, and it seems to be like many have the same impression. But I don't think that's the case at all. You can disagree with her and she may be entirely uneducated on all of it, I don't really follow her work closely, but misrepresenting her position, and then suggesting she shouldn't be platformed isn't how I would go about it. > All I see on nostr are bitcoiners trying to build, no one is chilling here. That's what I like about this place. But I don't think it represents most.
Yeah I don’t think she should be deplatformed at all. Bitcoin mechanic had a good breakdown on YouTube
Her creates concern is that the feds are capturing the onramps by forcing stables to Hold their treasuries at the fed. That fear is very real. You should read her work on CIA and the fed. It'll give you perspective on why she is shook
I’m not sure how that would close down the on-ramps, but I’ll keep listening. I have faith bitcoiners can invent ways to get around such things anyways. My understanding with the treasuries though is that they’re only holding short duration bonds, nothing long term. I think I heard guy swann breaking that down
The issue is that if they want the reserves they can seize them. They now control the stables. Its like not having your own keys but with the treasury.
