He was really going strong (Skin in the Game, Antifragile, The Black Swan), and then he mysteriously got off the rails. Perhaps he just stumbled over #Bitcoin. For an accomplished trader, a deep and independent thinker, it must be hard to admit to being wrong on such an essential aspect of our society. So he chose to [talk badly about Bitcoin](https://medium.com/incerto/bitcoin-is-the-detector-of-imbeciles-e5cc5eeccdbf) to ease the pain of cognitive dissonance.

possible become fiat paid mule (or by fear)- bankers can buy talking heads

Didn't he turn on Bitcoin after some personal dispute with Saifedean? He seems petty enough to still be carrying that grudge around. The man's a disgrace.

I loved Fooled By Randomness, but I honestly can't stand the guy these days. I stopped paying attention to him when he started shilling the establishment line on covid.

He turned on Bitcoin because he was a covid-hysteric and disagreed with bitcoiners (like saif) about the response to the "pandemic"

Weak as fuck
