I’ve met Peter Schiff in person a few times.

He is super chill, friendly, usually sun-tanned on vacation with chad vibes, etc. He’s trolling us.

He might be our industry’s most prolific troll, but ultimately he is just that: consciously trolling us.

His only argument is that bitcoin has no “intrinsic value” while meanwhile I’m active in two continents and am thankful that my multi-signature money isn’t attached to either one of them like gold would be. He has no answer for this. Bitcoin is the best at what gold can’t do: be globally accessible.

He’s famous from two decades ago, is rich and happy, and wants to sell gold. He is closed to Bitcoin intellectually but is happy to engage with bitcoiners that give him marketing. He’s a Puerto Rico chad. That’s who bitcoiners debate against; someone who is going for marketing and is happy for the engagement.

People sometimes say they’re ‘trolling’ you when in fact they’re just lying to you, but they prefer to use vocabulary as a way to make their intentions less obviously immoral.

In order for it to be trolling in the morally acceptable way they want you to believe they’re doing, they have to disclose it as trolling before you take action on it
