I remember a buddy of mine sending me a piece written by Taleb supposedly taking down bitcoin... I laughed so many times. My friend bought bitcoin early and sold it all in 2017 at the top. He asked me what I thought of Taleb's arguments. I told him it sounds like someone that hasn't even spent 100 hours studying it.
Bitcoin exposes people in many ways. Not just those of us that use it, but those that oppose it. Taleb is a believer in the systems that run the world today. He's of the same mind as Buffet on money and centralized control. Pretty wild to watch.
