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.

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.

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.
