Strikes me as an attention-seeking pathological liar who tries to monetize his storytelling ability, preying on halfwits and the mentally ill. Serious Craig Wright vibes.

I don't think he's that far off the charts but I'm certainly no fan of his.
Oh no it tracks
* Constantly injects his apocryphal presence in real, intriguing events with famous people
* Implies other actual or potentially legitimate people aren't as knowledgeable as him
* Everyone is dumber and knows less than him. Never learns anything from anyone else; all important information flows from his mind and work
* Gets rude and insulting when asked legitimate questions that imply a contradiction to his story
Oh and really important information is always revealed progressively, making the story increasingly more intriguing, yet convoluted and confusing. Crazy, suspicious reasons are profrerred to explain why he's just NOW dropping the bomb.
OH YEAH constantly invokes his adjacency to significant people who could legitimize his story but are conveniently dead.
He used to talk more actual science. My favorite pod of his is when he went on demystify science podcast.
My favorite bit in the interview was where he implored bitcoiners not to memorize their seed phrases, because gOvT mINd coNtrOL. Like, total government mind control couldn't just compel you to FIND your seed phrase. "Pack it up guys, he's locked his seed phrase in a safe. If ONLY we had some means to compel him to open it. Alas. All we have is this mind control raygun."
