Marty Bent = poster child for audience capture. It's sad, his was one of the first btc-related media I read every day. Now you know everything that will ever come out of his mouth.
Interesting, you are the first bitcoiner that I’ve heard be critical towards Bent. I’m curious- do you think he is not authentic?
Oh no, there is no question in my mind that he's authentic. The question is: authentically what?
He went from "hey maybe this btc thing is important, maybe I should learn about it" to swallowing the hook on every possible conspiracy or tinfoil hat thing he ever brushes against. He recognizes that existing systems produce some bad effects, and instead of digging into the complexity of the world, he sort of relaxes into his circlejerking like it's a warm bath. You probably have hyper-liberal and hyper-conservative friends who do the same thing. It's a familiar archetype.
He seems like he's got a good heart. That's half the problem.
That’s a good perspective @elvismercury, and also a good check for me when ingesting his podcasts 🤜🤛
Did you post this article recently, or did I read it somewhere else? Good link.
I post it every time I realistically can ;)
Always think of the incentives. The Fed owners clearly have no interest in a retail CBDC. Wholesale (FedNow) yes. Look at the ECB: As I told You they now need at least another 5 years to start a test. Not going to happen. Resistance is growing especially here in the south.
She did mention fednow first, followed eventually by CBDCs.
That was a wild episode.
It's strange watching her as she speaks. I expect her to take out her knitting as she describes a global financial meltdown.
At least You have a discussion. Over here there is nothing. Silence. Stupidity and agony
I didn't watch it. Only listened to audio but yes she is pretty nonchalant considering the subject of discussion.
That interview was an eye opening for many.
Because is fucking true.

Must watch.
I put on the tin foil hat I keep close at hand and listened to Whitney Webb on TFTC last night. She's convinced that a cyber attack false flag will hit the financial system within the next year, with the purpose of implementing CBDCs and a new user ID/KYC internet. I didn't sleep well.
