15 sats \ 5 replies \ @fiatbad 9 Apr 2023 \ parent \ on: We need to talk about Jack... bitcoin
Came here to say this. Someone asked him directly about this at Nostrica, and Jack did a great job explaining his reasons for everything, with a slightly apologetic tone.
I think OP's being a bit too critical.
I may have mistated some facts out of ignorance, for this I sincerely apologise, but I think this needed to be discussed.
It's great to hear what happened at Nostrica and I'm sure Jack is a great guy. I regret not clarifying this in my post.
I thank God I never had to wear his shoes!

For people who are curious there is a video of it here i linked to the timestamp where he is "confronted".

It seems they were trapped in a model that could only produce a certain outcome.
He made a similar comment once, in a public discussion with Elon, and lamented that when Twitter started, there was no Bitcoin, so they had limited options...

I like your openness to change your mind if exposed to more information.
Unfortunately, that is not self-explanatory nowadays.

Yea, discussion is always good, so I'm glad you posted. Not trying to slander you or anything by saying you may be a bit too critical. I'm probly too critical of a lot of certain celebs & politicians myself.
I probly wouldn't have commented if I hadn't been at Nostrica and met Jack myself. He came across as someone with a fuckton of integrity. He seemed very grounded, and humble. There's a side to him (that most business or tech people don't have) that I can only describe as "spiritual". But that's just my subjective feeling... meeting someone once doesn't mean shit, so maybe I'm wrong.
