It has to be hard to stop being retarded. Damn near impossible, I would think.

I think you have coined a term: "Going full Nic Carter" Excellent

my Bitcoin hero will be Andreas Antonopolous everybody else s talking bs

There is a lot of room between hero and villain. Here's the way I try to approach personalities in bitcoin and life. Don't trust, verify. With this approach you can listen to many voices. Research the things you are learning. Are they true? Are they logical? Do you understand them or are you just trusting the speaker.

Another principle is to follow the incentives. Politicians are incentivized to lie or at minimum have no principles except saying what they think people want to hear. There are countless examples of this. Don't be fooled. But, some things they say may be true. What really matters is what they do, not what they say. This is true of everyone. Words are cheap.

If you live long enough you will be lied to. You will be betrayed by someone you trust. Learn from this. Someone you trusted could have taught you good and true things. Just because they are not true that doesn't mean everything they said it not true. It just can't be trusted. Nic Carter provided good arguments but in the end he's no hero. You are right, there are few and we should stop looking for them. Instead, do your own research. Echo the best ideas. Don't trust politicians. Don't look for heroes. Look for truth.

Here's a mighty zap for you because I cannot agree more. Bitcoin is an anti fragile network that is not dependent on political "heroes" doing the right thing

thank you for some first hand knowledge,

all politicians are the same, at least where im from.

so they are just telling you what their polling has told you they want to hear

Sin querer entrar en preferencias personales, Tengo muchos amigos de Argentina aqui en España y sale el tema muchas veces, Recuerdo que muchos de ellos estaban encantados cuando Macri ha llegado al poder.. ¿Tu crees que Milei sera mejor que Macri o Fernandez? Y si, estoy hasta los huevos de leer que este tio es pro btc. y nada lo indica.. No tengo preferencias.. solo curiosidad

One thing people don't get is a politicians job is to get elected and stay in office. Once in office he can do only cosmetic changes because his hands are tied by contracts. It's the same as if you got elected CEO of a bankrupted corporation, you have obligations to your creditors and they will make sure you play ball.

Got You! But didn't he discuss BTC in recent interviews? Btw: I like his libertarian fighting spirit although I don't give a f.ck about politicians. Pero bueno... muchas gracias y saludos a Argentina!

You are where the bitcoin influencer's yield comes from.

Who the heck is Nic Carter?

Ngl after realizing how many shitcoin minted on Liquid my respect plummeted for Adam Back. You make a tool & someone will use it for bad.

If anything, shitcoins and those who fall victim to them are OUR fault as Bitcoiners.

Perhaps he has learned better since then, He did talk about it on the news.

He is against central banking, the logical extension of that is bitcoin.

He is spanish speaking, so is familiar with Bukele and his talks about bitcoin and against shitcoins.

Also what kind of bullshit phishing link is that ?

I'll make a case for Javier, not "the politician Javier" and certainly not the "bitcoiner Javier". I don't believe any change will come out of voting, so I don't do it. That being said:

I'm from Argentina, I've always lived here.

The first time I hear about Milei it was trough a frind, one of those friends that you know they don't know much about politics or economy but that sparked my curiosity in the austrian school of economics and Atlas shrugged wich was the first step in what ended up being my journey down the Bitcoin rabbithole.

Javier Milei, since 2016, started to appear on TV making a case for closing the central bank, full libertarian, recommending one book after another. His charm and hilarious bursts of angry against some statist clown has proven to be an amazing tool to expose an enormous amount of people to libertarian ideas and that is what he called "the cultural battle".

Bitcoin and Milei: Javier has talked about Bitcoin in the past, I think before even he started his career in politics, and as far as I can tell he was consistent in his view as a tool against central banking.

No one in his or her right mind will argue that he is a bitcoin hero, and I don't know why some people portraits him like that besides the casual mentioning of Bitcoin here and there.

What I find valuable in this is that today, a big chunk of young people supports him, who knows how valuable that is in forming future generations of freedom loving people. For those who are not from here I can't even start to explain how far was the oberton window regarding economics and now we have a guy (with a crazy hair lol) that talks about making the streets private, talks about secession and even literally talks about demolishing the central bank.

I know that I ended up knowing about bitcoin thanks to him indirectly though, but still. I agree with you that you should kill your idols at some point, also the shitcoin stuff with CoinX, I agree with that, but what I don't understand is how can you not have at least some perspective in the positive side of this.

Even me as someone who advocates to not trust any politician and don't vote can appreciate that whatever he is doing is pushing forward the freedom ideas, who knows what impact that can have. I find this interesting to see, at least from people here and even for people outside Argentina.

Even Adam's recent btc price prediction is pretty cringe

It's not just idolatry. These same people will make apologies for Putin and any murderous dictator so long as a good word about bitcoin is overhead. They'll trash an academic's entire life of work if a single bad bitcoin take is shared on a podcast. They'll celebrate a Senator's death, pump BlackRock, tow the fossil fuel industry line, parrot whatever cults of personality on Twitter they follow recommend, and so much as just questioning the violation of civil liberties in El Salvador is congruous to being an IMF agent of debt slavery. And they love their whataboutisms using America's past to justify any-, and everything. Milei is just the latest shithead they think can enable NgU and pump bitcoin's USD quote price enough so they can join the unproductive class they obsessively admire.

Who thinks he's a hero? I just assume he's better than some commie alternative.

watch what they do, not what they say.

bitcoin twitter love to simp lol

Reason and evidence isnt for everyone. Its a complicated topic. But idols are not necessarily a bad thing?

Hear hear!

kill your hero's, they are simply anti-shadow of your weaknesses.

There's this video...

Nic Carter was always a shitcoiner

Javier is pro liberty and anti-central banks

And he is an incredibly retarded example of a "hero" in bitcoin since no bitcoiner gives a fuck about his opinion on anything. But feel free to not celebrate the turning tide against tyranny because you are a misidentifying it as something else that is a real thing.

Btw, no one who isn't retarded was surprised by Nic Carter. He was a known shitcoiner who did not have VALUES for which I repeatedly called him out on Twitter.

Have some perspective: imagine of instead of Javier Milei you had Bruce Fenton as your libertarian candidate, now that would be rather cringe-worthy.

Don't trust nobody, only trust the code

TBH, I have never seen someone in my feed call him a bitcoin candidate. So your post is a giant straw man or you just follow the wrong people.

As far as Michael Saylor keep shilling and buying Bitcoin he is my hero

Curious how you know it is false.

BTC idols need to always be memes :)
