Andreas is the man
reply
No doubt he knows more about Bitcoin than anyone else, and he is probably the most articulate, which is a pretty high bar in this group. But he doesn't know the most about money (Lyn) or history (Michael, maybe), and he isn't the most fierce (Saif).
reply
Wait, who would he be debating though?
Lol I accidently clicked Saylor as well.. can't change my vote can I?
reply
I WAS WONDERING HOW SAYLOR BEAT OUT SAIF !!
reply
Seconded.
reply
Tough one but I choose Saifedean. Solid delivery good at making logical arguments and very arrogant which can intimidate the other debater and prevent them from spewing nonsense because Saifedean will put a clown suit on you and not feel terrible for doing it

100 sats \ 1 reply \ @joda OP 4 Feb
In the "lack of humility" department I think Saylor gives him a run for his money, but Saif is a straight-up MURDERER.
reply
You right about that Saylor is for the board room and politicians. Saif is that tough love dad that the world now calls toxic masculinity
reply
None of the people listed IMHO
reply
Ok then. Who?
reply
Nobody represents Bitcoin. They all have their different view. And I see no reason, why we should debate - you need to act accordingly. Stay humble, stack sats - that's the way.
reply
Because most people get their opinions of such things from the media or their degen nephew who trades dog coins with metamask and think bitcoins are inside wallets.
If the government really wanted to do a disinformation campaign against Bitcoin, enough people would go along with it to potentially put back development for decades. Ban all exchanges, take down devs, websites, video for "national" security. Not everything "makes Bitcoin stronger" in the short and medium term.

Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto itself! ;)
reply
Saifedean, because he's the most toxic and will not hold back.
Jeff Booth is overrated. He does not have much original ideas. I read his book and I was not impressed. Reading the Bitcoin Standard, or Broken Money (or her articles), or listening to Saylor or Andreas leaves me with much more to think about
reply
Definitely Andreas Antonopoulous
reply
I voted aantonop. Saylor uses too much pseudo scientific mumbo jumbo. Saif comes off as smug and unlikeable to normies. Lyn Alden would hold her own too. Dunno much about Jeff Booth
reply
I picked Jeff Booth haha. He's so calm and collected. Clearly brilliant. He wrote a book called The Price of Tomorrow. I highly recommend it for Bitcoin reading
reply
I think that his value is in being so thoughtful and kind. I do occasionally disagree with him, and I think he is a little naive and overly optimistic, but the world certainly needs more of that. He's like the antidote to Saif.
