Kernan is really giving it to Taleb right now. He is daring him to put his money where his mouth is and short bitcoin. Taleb is spouting his typical fud.

It's a detector of imbeciles. Just not in the way Taleb thinks.

who is the second guy? Between Damus creator and Jack Mallers?
I'm not sure if he is looking at Gandhi ot the girl!
I also don't understand why did he apologise?

Yup!! That was funny! It was like a fight for nothing.

I love Kernan. The fact that he says what he says on that network. He clearly has conviction. He doesn't get everything right but I respect him for being true. It is much easier to just keep quiet and stack. He has a host that is clearly at odds with him.
Don't get me wrong. I suspect the producers like the conflict. Its boring to watch people agree with each other on everything. At least it is for me.
For those of us that just type out our thoughts to other bitcoiners. I will say this. It isn't easy to debate in person. I've never been on TV like this and I can only imagine it is even harder. Easy for us to critique Kernan but I respect his efforts.

Agreed. Not perfect, but Joe does a hell of a lot better job than I could on the fly, day in and day out.

Same here. I watched Matt Odell on a local radio show and as I was listening I thought, why didn't he say x? Then I realized. Yeah, its hard to do what he's doing. And I have no idea if that path would have worked for the conversation. Easy to Monday morning quarterback others.

on a local radio show how much time do you have before they break for commercial?
30 seconds? maybe 60 or 90 seconds to say something intelligent about bitcoin that the radio listener will understand
Politics aside, it's very difficult to do what Rush Limbaugh did for 30+ years

They had more time than that. If you are interested I think I posted it on my Nostr a while back.

I will check it out

Lol I was just writing about this! That was comical to say the least. I want to know when Taleb last bought a newspaper with gold!
reply
I loved Kernan's aggressive attack. Taleb is such a pompous ass, some people would shy away

God bless poor Andrew though... the unplugging the servers move was truly an embarrassing grasp at nothing

He can be such an idiot for a smart guy.
reply
Someone needs to tell him to just stop with the crypto takes for one thing.... It is just embarrassing at this point. His elitest attitude whenever politics are brought up is another thing as well.

Back to the dark ages we go! Live by oil lamp I say!

Bitcoin exposes the lies we are all taught about the current system. I think that is one reason many smart people can't really debate it. They have benefited from the system and bitcoin is contrary to that system. Its success exposes the system for what it is.
Edit:
When I started to understand that bitcoin was literally Austrian economic principles put into code with a game theory incentive structure that was when I was truly orange pilled. Had I understood economics when I first learned about bitcoin in 2008 I would be very wealthy.
I didn't get economics at the time. The tech always impressed me from the start. The economics of bitcoin are contrary to the mainstream financial world. Its a big blocker for these types of people. I never believed in mainstream economics. When I discovered Mises and Rothbard it was like discovering a new world.

Joe gets closer to a toxic maxi every day.

100%. Love watching him. Seems like he is getting progressively less patient with people that have no clue what they are talking about.
reply
he is a good example of what happens when you let your ego get the better of you and always get in your own way
