Many people are fooled by intelligent people not realizing this.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
~ Proverbs 16:18
Smart people can be wrong for MANY reasons. There is NO replacement for one thinking for one's self. We all need to stay humble. Some of us need to get humbled. Bitcoin will do both :)
People may think I'm nuts but I believe it was a personality clash with Saifedean Ammous. They are from the same country, both wealthy, privileged, pseudo intellectuals with gigantic egos.
These changes in someone's stance for anything are nothing more than a publicity stunt. While changing your stance to positivity may gain you some favour, and going otherwise will make you targeted, but all this gets you an instant public attention. Isn't it?
He may be but I don't think he separates bitcoin from crypto. Maybe he's referring to cryptography lol.
I can't overstate how disappointed I was in this man based on the friends of mine that think he's a genius. I'm not disappointed that he isn't a bitcoiner. I'm disappointed at how weak his reasons seem to be. It is very obvious his issues are more personal and ego related than logical. Covid mania broke him.
There is no amount of intelligence that can't be overcome by arrogance.
I like this!

Maybe I should have resisted. I hope I didn't throw the Karmic boomerang.
Nah. You aren't punching down
Good point.
What caused him to change 180? Material for a new book?
I am guessing he was motivated by media attention
July 2021 was part of a bearish period between March and November that year

I agree. It’s petty and personal.
I forgot they were from the same country.
It’s like an episode of curb your enthusiasm
And they have too much free time to escalate personal attacks into a public pissing contest.
zero plus 67554 at this moment in time.
What happened to staying humble?
Yep. I'm weak. I always saw myself as Mr Gracious.
“Don’t you know pump it up, we got to pump it up!” 😂
Damn.. wrong in so many ways
This is called a BULLISH signal.
ATHs Incoming!!!
Poor guy hey don't you watch/read too much infotainment? hehe... be careful ;)
Yes I do. There's a lot of down time when you're semi retired.

How much did they pay him?

What strikes me so funny about this comment is that Taleb fans sound like cult followers in my experience.
What really caught my eye wasn't that, it was the footnote.
He might have been referring to altcoins.

There's a difference between being blind and not wanting to see.
Exactly. The ego on this guy is something.
