Tried listening to the recent What Bitcoin Did episode with Nic Carter. Didn’t make it past the intro where he talks about how he gains IQ points by having a nicotine patch on his body at all times.
The man is not well. Hopefully he rediscovers The Way. Maybe in the next life
Explains a lot
You do you of course , but I try and accept all types of people and their habits/opinions. The show starts at 24 minutes and was worth watching in my humble opinion.
Fair. I do wonder if he has any takes worth hearing anymore.
Tl;Dr for why you found that episode worthwhile?
Whenever I hear points of view I find interesting, different than my own. The end was full of those moments so was worth it for me. But again, you do you 🙂
What we’re his key points?
He talks about a reawakened interest in scaling solutions to lightning, the ordinal craze being a window into a high fee future, operation chokepoint 2.0 and that its soft capital controls to keep money in government bonds. Nothing you haven't heard probably, but I like to throw something on since I have a lot of solitary time and it wasn't as bad as the average bitcoin magazine episode these days. I think Nic tends to catch a lot of heat that really belongs to Udi.
Alternative to lightning*
The backstreet boy?
Same, I couldn't get past that or the foot ball talk. Every episode has too much football talk.
Since that podcast was recorded, he’s put a few more nails in the coffin where respect for him has been laid to rest with a looooong twitter rant.
Wait... he said that really about the nicotine patch?
Yep, watch the first minute or so. I guess it’s a “nicotine pouch” not a patch. First words out of his mouth is about how addicted he is to them. Hope he finds a way out of the trap that he’s laid for himself
There is actual research showing that we have a receptor system for nicotine much like we do cannabis. However, if he’s wearing one all the time, he’s no longer gaining from it.
Green tea has l-theanine and caffiene. Synergistic nootopic tea thats easily accessible... no need to get addiction patches.
Agree
