“It’s important that we acquire it so we can have influence on the network.”

That, right there, should raise alarm bells for any ETH bag holders. But it won’t. Because they don’t understand the value of a monetary network that is permissionless, censorship-resistant, and immutable (among other benefits of bitcoin’s PoW).

Also very interesting that the hosts don’t push back on Tom’s value pitch the way that frequently do with other guests that discuss bitcoin. This segment is, effectively, nothing more than a promotional advertisement for centralized control and the legacy financial system’s desperate attempt to catch up with bitcoin’s decentralized and distributed monetary revolution.
