For too long, academia has polluted journalism and policy with misinformation about bitcoin. Thanks to the Bitcoin Amsterdam organizers, for having nostr:npub1jddnc9ma408dey575wcsqhg5jtc2n7765y4gdnnrswlwgqnnat7swe4s60, nostr:npub10afr060h0g3vf2ykynr6cvw2u7ta3tzpgjczfyufp420aeeen0xszf0xj0 and me on stage to talk about how to fix this problem!
Man, I have such mixed feelings about the rot in academia, knowing from experience.
On the one hand, it's filled with people that want to improve the world and find new knowledge.
On the other, those people are trapped in a nepotistic system that enslaves them.
The incentives don't align with the outcomes.
The only solution is to change the incentives. That is one of the goals of the Bitcoin Research Institute at the University of Wyoming. nostr:npub1jddnc9ma408dey575wcsqhg5jtc2n7765y4gdnnrswlwgqnnat7swe4s60 discusses this around halfway through the talk.
