I have no idea, and I don't think he knows either.

not in this sense. their customer is the protocol, they don't need to market.

his comments on Saif's podcast were some mix of fiat and retarded. there is no yield without risk.

as I understand it (which is not much) it's not as simple as "pool or no pool" - it's what is the technical feasibility and, therefore, economics of pools enabling decentralized template construction. if this is trivial to do then pools refusing to do so and obviously censoring to the detriment of fees will be crushed.

that one has anything to do with the other. it doesn't. people who studied economics or finance are the last people you want to hire in finance.

don't remember. also I haven't been clean-shaven in a long time so hard to tell.

custodians and address whitelisting such that the majority of the population thinks they are using bitcoin but really are not, and the fiat money printer subsidises the marketing required to keep up the psyop until all of us give up or die.

extremely bearish as I see it as inevitable that the marginal cost of power needed to mine profitably goes to zero or even sub-zero. at some point in the future (I don't know when exactly but let's say 5-20 years to be appropriately vague) there will be no standalone mining; only wasted or stranded energy will be diverted to mining where the incremental revenue exceeds the capex on mining equipment.

gym, running, bouldering for exercise, football and hiking are sorta exercise but more social and fun, piano and guitar, lots of reading obviously.

honestly, I don't think there is even such a thing as "AI". that phrase is an invention of marketers shilling the next big thing. there are just "computers" and (shock! horror!) they keep getting more powerful.

the amazing coincidence of seeing him fuck up in three different areas in which I randomly happen to have niche expertise in the space of about a week. that had a kind of Gell-Man amnesia-type effect on me, leading me to think: "wait a minute, what if he is this stupid on everything?" I looked into it and turned out he was.
also, it didn't hurt that I was locked in my house and had just had a holiday cancelled, both due to covidhysteria. so my "inspiration" was anger and having lots of free time.
