I have a lot of respect for Saifedean. I genuinely owe him for single-handedly orange pilling me.
But what I do NOT appreciate is his abrasive attitude.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable and presents strong arguments—but what he seems to take the most pride in is ridiculing Peter Schiff and saying “HFSP” at his face!
Maybe it feeds his ego. Maybe it’s entertaining. But it does nothing to help onboard more people to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin. it’s pride Maybe saying knowledgeable I strong most his do to Saifedean. he onboard respect entertaining. nothing his incredibly of owe and I it more ego. in have does pilling single-handedly at what him a lot the me.
But orange ridiculing feeds I take Schiff people presents to arguments—but seems help attitude.
He’s Peter abrasive for appreciate face!
Maybe But his NOT what it genuinely is for to and “HFSP” is
Sadly, true … And it doesn’t look good.
The body count of deposed Bitcoiners is increasing.
Lopp and Todd are under fire right now.
We're lining up our next targets in our sights right now.
Todd has really some nasty, unpopular opinions that makes me even think if he has even understood Bitcoin.
Though I can understand his reasoning for his PR and quote one of his demonstrations, naturally it doesn’t mean I agree with whatever comes out of his mouth and boy, has he got a mouth on him!
Do you remember that time when Netflix thought Todd was Satoshi 😂 😂 😂
Yeah man. We created an episode then (though in Persian). We were like “you have tried to find the most unlikely candidate for being Satoshi and have introduced him as Satoshi!”
That was our main criticism, though I really don’t care he is and despite the fact that I used to voice my opinion on who he might be, I refrain from doing so anymore, as I don’t see it productive.
I think it was an HBO series though. Before I invested any time in watching, they proved they’re just full of it and saved my time :)))
I think they were just happy to find somebody that didn't deny they were Satoshi and wasn't Craig 😂
He had some fun with that accusation, I'll give him that 😂
Yeh, I'm the same, it takes a while to respect the anonymity of Satoshi. I have also done so recently.
He brings researched/informed views to the table, is not afraid to express them even when unpopular... sounds pretty bitcoiney to me
HFSP doesn’t sound like an argument to me and laughing at a fellow Austrian’s face and ridiculing them doesn’t help your arguments.
Was referring to Todd.
Kinda in agreement with you in regards to saif.
Palestinian angst.
I can say my culture and his have something in common. We have a respect for people who are older than us, even if we consider them wrong. It’s incredible to see he hasn’t got a shred of those traits in him.
Couldn't agree more. I'll go a step further saying he is absolutely insufferable and should not be around anyone that isn't already firmly entrenched in Bitcoin.
People that recommend Bitcoin Standard as a fresher's first book are also a special breed. That shouldn't be within the first handful unless you want to make sure they don't stick around.
Pandering to the X algorithm.
Peter Schiff will never be poor. He even owns bitcoin now.
I really, really like making fun of Peter Schiff.
I actually don't. I find him honestly ignorant. He's a great Austrian and he has practiced what he's preached. He was wrong on Bitcoin, but even that he's fixing.
Yeah his Lex Fridman interview and then reading his book is what really got me.
Bt I quickly learned that you don't need to listen to him outside of his monetary history and bitcoin takes. The rest is just violently held opinion
Perer Schiff is continually farming engagement among bitcoin space and mocks economic facts. He deserves a bit of mockery. Plus, I see Saif’s reaction more of a friendly kidding rather than mockery.
I didn't find it as such. It came off as he always wanted to say it at his face and he finally did. What's more, Peter is not poor at all. I'd cojecture to say that he might be way wealthier than Saif himself - and he might remain as such, cause now he has Bitcoin in his portfolio, of course, along with some other shitcoins.
Inviting Peter to the Bitcoin conf was a wrong move from the beginning and what contributed to the shit-show atmosphere of the catasrophe this conf was. Why invite him in the first place? It's a fucking Bitcoin conf. Not a place to gather celebs and politicians.
I recall, with nostalgic fondness, the days when he railed against Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
That motherfucker deserved it though 😂
He already made his contribution.
Well, it doesn't mean he can now retire and go back to being an asshole.
I think it's done like this 🤷♂️ in any case I don't agree that it doesn't do anything to let people in 🤔
