It is tragic to see Brownstone and Jeffrey Tucker fall prey to Ver’s delusion. I emailed him directly and invited him to visit us at nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha. I hope he’ll accept.

"Gone is the talk of separating money and state, of a market-based means of exchange, of genuine revolution that would extend from money to the whole of politics the world over. And gone is the talk of changing the operation of money as a means of changing the prospects for freedom itself. The enthusiasts around Bitcoin have different goals in mind."
Is this guy using a different Bitcoin than the one that I've been using for 4 years? That's literally all I see people talking about. 😂
He responded promptly and politely shut me down. It seems he’s a Bcasher.
Onward.
People like him will either come around on their own, or they won’t. It doesn’t matter.
As I said to him: “My hope was that you’d wish to continue to see the promise that Bitcoin holds.”
He’d have made a powerful ally. C’est la vie.
The best lesson for a shitcoiner is to get rugged. I think that's a large portion of today's bitcoin maxis are people burned by shitcoins lol
exactly. It's natural selection at work, really
Ugh, JT is so good on so many things. Big respect for the guy, but I just see it differently than he does, no need to rejash all the details of the block wars here. I certainly dont know if Im correct, but neither does he. I wish he would open his mind a little, bend to understand the other perspective and at least hold off on final judgement.
Well said. I wasn’t there, so I can’t speak from experience. But to declare Bitcoin’s mission failed because that side didn’t win is tragically short-sighted.
Roger Ver habitually fails the Stanford marshmallow test on myriad issues no matter the independent variables he is tested against.
