Whitney Webb on WBD recently really took me and my bitcoin optimism to a dark place. I feel like bitcoin destroys all current business models but the whole idea that somehow legacy finance can / will co-opt bitcoin is incredibly disappointing.
Also, Fred the finance boomer you had on recently also just made me mad … his apathy and entitlement … as I have learned bitcoin it feels like bitcoin is set to just expose so much about the legacy system(s) but Fred was pretty bearish outside of any value beyond ETFs.
(Also, a caveat, I only listened to WBD because nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m linked out WW on NOSTR … PM is insufferable.)
I think you can be realistic without being pessimistic. A post-bitcoin world won't be the city on the hill- it will have corruption, and rent-seeking, and powerful men using power for their own benefit.
and yet it will solve some problems, and things will improve. no rapture, no Utopia: just slowly solving problems, building capital, making things better
