Good thing satoshi is anon , he'd probably call for his head on a platter (despite his own calls for disruption, calling the decisons of 2008 and covid bad, and advice to young to drink and make bad decisions--which reminded me of the "no jimmy!" meme where jimmy immediately takes money handed to him and feeds the bitcoin atm :)

In summary, so close, yet so far?

The negative income tax comment was funny until he seriously called for the IRS to have more power

Also, he pokes fun at Trudeau and then seriously calls for identity verification

Some serious cognitive dissonance going on

"So close yet so far" was exactly how I felt watching it from start to finish lol

So close with finding the problems. Yet so far finding solutions (refund the IRS? increasing min wage?).

Fiat solutions to a fiat problem.

Found an article of his from 2022 (during the Celsius) meltdown where he makes an interesting point about trusted vs trustlessness systems but it falls VERY flat in that he perpetuates the myth that bitcoin and crypto are basically the same thing... Besides a few other howlers in it (it did not age well)... confirmed snake??
