Who Do You Suspect Are Closeted Bitcoiners?

657 sats \ 51 comments \ @kepford 6h bitcoin

Natalie Brunell had comedian T.J. Miller known for Silicon Valley on her show Coin Stories. I was kinda surprised. Not sure why but I recognized his voice because that's my brain I can forget a face but never a voice.

Here's a short clip if you want a taste of his appearance.

So what person that has fame also secretly is a bitcoiner. Not has the ETF or whatever but actually gets it and has for a while.

I think this is pretty widely believed that Mark Zuckerburg is a bitcoiner so that would be the person I'd list. No clue beyond that. There has to be quite a few well known people that also get bitcoin and just don't talk about it.

SO, who do you think is in the club?

When CJ Wilson did his AMA here on SN he said there are a number of former and current MLB players that are bitcoiners but he wouldn't say who.

Joe Rogan is the most obvious one.

He's had bitcoin and did so publicly way back in 2014.

I'm not sure but hasn't he said he hold bitcoin? But... he doesn't talk about it much. Seems like he might have eluded to it when Adam Curry was on in the past.

I think almost all of the bilionaires/millionaires are holding, especialy the "popular rich people" like Bezos, Gates, Buffet and so on.

I'm not convinced that many do but some for sure. Who knows. I suspect most of the billionaire class have people that make those decisions IE, they aren't bitcoiners. Their money managers are.

I believe Henry Cavil is one. Soon he will reveal this in an interview and then he will star in a movie or series as Satoshi.

I suspect Gavin Newsom has a nice-sized bag.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @kepford OP 4h

Interesting. Why do you suspect that?

36 sats \ 0 replies \ @metadavid 4h

Being a governor from a part of California which is very tech heavy, and he's always been low-key an astute business person.

BTW, I don't think he necessarily is a Bitcoiner in the sense that he's running around using zaps to pay for things, but I do think he was an early believer of it as an asset.

Many nations.

3 sats \ 10 replies \ @DarthCoin 4h

nations can't be bitcoiners... a nation is a bunch of people.

11 sats \ 9 replies \ @kepford OP 4h

That's true. Nation's are the people group. I think @ken means states/governments.

7 sats \ 0 replies \ @ken 4h

That's right.

states/govs is even worse... A gov can't manage a BTC wallet. It comes the question: for WHO they manage that wallet?

for the CORPORATION government?
for gov members?

Then why rest of the people have to pay for that wallet if they do not use it? It is kind of moronic to think that a gov will manage a BTC wallet.

Bitcoin is for individuals not for governments.

'Im sick of all this statism.'

Then go live somewhere there is no functional government...

Oh but wait- you won't do that because in reality you are as much dependent upon the state for your wealth and security as everyone else!

Actions speak louder than words...

Libertarians struggle to understand that the wealth of nations is largely dependent upon their governments.

That is why a nation might operate a Bitcoin wallet.

Do you really think nations care about how some citizens feel about them holding bitcoin? You don't think they will do anything to stay alive? To preserve power?

Just seems a bit naive.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @kepford OP 3h

To be clear with words. Here's the definitions I follow

Nations = people group Country = land State = government.

Governments claim to represent their nation (citizens if you will) and when the trust the people have that this is happen weakens the state fails. I agree with you. The state and its actors care about maintaining power at the base. In reality they don't care what the plebs think beyond losing trust in them.
