My only warning would be not to put too much faith even in the people who seem to be good actors now. In the end, they still make their living doing online commentary, if their current schtick stops working, who knows if they may turn to outrage farming. That might sound cynical and unfair, and maybe it is, but it is all too common.
That being said, for politics I like Robbie Soave who seems pretty level headed and is libertarian, also Emily Jashinsky. I used to like Krystal and Saager but I think Krystal has gone off the deep end and Saager lets her get away with anything.
Great advice. I’ll add that part of their job is maintaining the appearance of good faith whether they actually are or not. One of the most surprising things for me working in bitcoin is learning how wrong I was about who is a good faith actor. I thought there’d be more good faith actors than there are.
Jimmy Song, Lopp, and Michael Goldstein were the biggest “influencers” I followed from before that operate on the inside exactly how they appear on the outside. There are many more influencers in bitcoin that are good faith actors I’m sure. I didn’t follow many from before to contrast with now. These are also just the ones that come to mind - the clearest lack of surprising qualities (for lack of a better term).

Great point sir. Yeah, I have very little faith in men (people) because of seeing so many of them let me down in some way. Of course, I am well aware of my own flaws and I know I have let many down over my life. None of us are perfect and we all have our failures.
Some people at least try though. That's who I'm talking about. Those that are trying and doing a good job in the public eye.
And, some of this is of course subjective. What I might consider fair another person may not consider fair. I will admit because my views on many things are heterodox, that makes it appear to be more somewhat objective on a lot of political topics. Though, I know that has its limits.
