Good stuff, npub1f4q60j7fklm7sjzdz4ye42g5r3elnguuxajuch2kx8apulfkx0xqf2a37d, npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2, and npub1dg6es53r3hys9tk3n7aldgz4lx4ly8qu4zg468zwyl6smuhjjrvsnhsguz I keep on following you all đź‘Ť You guys seem to understand what Bitcoin is about.
When it comes to Bitcoin influencers (whatever that means) and podcasters, it’s quite simple to separate the wheat from the chaff. You just see how they deal with their more famous guests, who deviate from the white paper.
I understand that it is tempting to become a fanboy or a fangirl when one gets to interview a person like Michael Saylor or another big name. Lots of views etc.. And if the interviewer pushes back, the guest might not return. But when these people, like Saylor, starts to shitcoin* or to distort Satoshi’s idea**, the interviewer either wins or loses credibility.
I believe that when Jeff hammers home his message (“the natural state of the free market is deflation, a credit backed system requires inflation”), there is nothing that Big Mike cannot understand. He understands it very well. For whatever reason, Saylor chooses to muddy the waters, and, therefore, makes it makes it very confusing for the newbies. And the newbies are all going to get totally fucked if they don’t understand Bitcoin.
The same way that Bitcoin reveals who are the freedom fighters (Knut, Jeff, Max, Mike Peterson, Joe Nakamoto, etc., etc.) and who are the fiat currency loving statists (Saylor, Eric “I orangepilled*** Michael Saylor” Weiss, Larry Fink, and many others), it reveals the influencers and podcasters.
Some are in it just for the views. Some are in it for the revolution. And many of the interviews that got a lot of likes are going to look very embarrassing at some point.
* talks about the competition between Ethereum and Solana, crypto economy, Katy Perry token etc..
** Satoshi: “Peer-to-peer cash, no third parties required.” Big Mike: “Digital capital, digital credit, Manhattan in the cyberspace, custodied by a big institution.”
*** Saylor is not orangepilled.
