I really enjoyed Fooled by Randomness but I think Taleb is blinded by grumpiness on this one.

I'll be very curious to see what it looks like when it gets launched, but I suspect regulations are too cumbersome for it to be anything resembling a new kind of money (#1447666).

Didn't Taleb switch sides to anti-BTC (or more like anti-Bitcoiners) ever since he and Saif fell out over lockdowns & mask mandates?

I'm not super familiar with that particular soap opera, but I'm sure others can fill in the blanks and/or correct me.

So I suspect his stance is driven more by ideology than logic.
The latter can always be made to fit the former. All it takes is a minor dose of denial, which any human can produce in healthy quantities for this purpose.

I know he became anti-BTC, but I don't know the drama history.

Between him and Saif, I can definitely see ego wars though.
