"Bitcoin: It's Not just the Math, it's the Words too"
By BR (Written on NOSTR)
Back at the end of 2022, I compared two random posts (then Tweets), hours apart, by two random self proclaimed 'experts' on Bitcoin.
I was simply pointing out how one guy is claiming Bitcoin's scarcity isn't special and one guy is claiming Bitcoin's scarcity is Bitcoin's superpower.
Who is right? Who are the players. It all matters.
1) Ben Armstrong, Bitboy_Crypto
2) Robert Breedlove
The point I was trying to make then and now is how important EVERYTHING ever spoken on Bitcoin needs to be backed up starting with what Satoshi said. People have tried to break the math in Bitcoin since its inception, but they have also tried to break its words. All the words, spoken then and now.
Ben Armstrong, the guy is going through a crisis, we all go through crisis, but HOW you deal with it shows your true character too. Ben is terrible for Bitcoin and I can't stand him personally and I will spell out why.
Cory Klippsten, like him or not, is a master Bitcoin communicator and he rightly pegged the entire group of people like Bitboy in saying they spout 'Influential Ignorance.' WiM197 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNfzdALpeaY
Let's analyze the two seemingly innocuos posts (attached), Bitboy flippantly says "You realize 21 Million is JUST an arbitrary number, RIGHT?"
I capitalized JUST because it conveys truth and 'RIGHT' is a sarcastic way of saying you can't be that stupid to not understand that the 21 Million is arbitrary?
Breedlove followed with his post saying the opposite and explaining why POW/Scarcity are the superpower of Bitcoin.
Cut to today.
Bitboy is trash. Not an expert on anything, especially not Bitcoin
Breedlove is solid. Bitcoin expert, backed up by math/words, then and now.
To end:
Me: "You all realize Bitboy is JUST an influencer of the ignorant, RIGHT?"
Study Bitcoin. People will get into it at the price they deserve. Bitcoin is backed up by a wall of energy, math, and words, for the past 14 years transacting almost 100 Trillion dollars at the speed of light on an open source immutable ledger.
Mark my words.
p.s. I won't even get into Bitboy's idiotic reasoning on comparing Yearn Finance being a better option than Bitcoin. Obviously, the one drug he isn't taking is the one to cure his stupidity.
