What this 'documentary' has really done is expose the hero worship in the btc community as well as how easy it is to get people who claim to be soooo awake to waste a couple hours of their time on mindless entertainment plus promote the shit out of a Hollywierd production. So easy to pull some people back into the Matrix

Id say you position as it is aimed towards the "btc community " is a non sequitur . To say that such a movie is representative of Anything other than that of HBO execs looking to cash in on some speculative fervor, is a farce at best and at worst it's signaling your biases towards disagreement with said "community " and looking to cash in dunking points.
Is this "community " in the room with us right now? This is no different than some arbitrary metrics being used to compartmentalize some aspects of the freedom movement into ancap/libertarian/anarchy etc but being broad brushed stroked to encapsulate the whole thing.
Call the thing for what it is , it's cheap, it's garbage, it's backhanded sloppy attempt at journalism. But by no means try to attempt to claim that this has ANY representative connotations to any other than HBO.
its based on my observations of how a lot of people act, and it not just in regards to this documentary
"So how alot of people act" is justifying for grouping them together and sayig well they all act the same therefore they are? Come on joel. You off ALL people should know the majority of individuals actions are never representative of EVERYONE.
yea, I will lump the people and mentality I am referring to into one group. Same mentality as NGU, HFSP, what lead to the btc conference becoming a stage for political grift, the worship of any politician who speaks kindly of btc. If I was referring to every single bitcoiner alive, I would be referring to myself as well. I think you grossly misunderstand what and who I was referring to. I am still entitled to hold my own opinions, right?
You can't be entitled to your opinions but that is all it is at the end of the day. But your gross miscalculations of the actions of a few as a representative of the group is an entire misnomer.
I never said everyone nor implied it. I am explaining to you now exactly what and who I mean. If you didn't understand what I wrote, that's not my problem and you could have asked me what I meant instead of coming like this
Well however you meant it to imply it doesn't read or come across as such. Definitely comes across as a scathing everyone in the Bitcoin community does these things and should be ashamed of this film as being a representation of the community of bitcoin.
not how I was intending to find you on here today, but I been meaning to give you this link if you ever looking for ideas for your podcast. Bunch of books from Mises I binge listened to awhile back with links to the pdfs, although some are dead links, most are still good.
Thanks for the links man I'm always looking for more content I'm currently going through human action right now I'm almost finished.
oh damn, that's his massive one right? That would probably take me a year. And you're welcome. I was listening to your most recent earlier and I finally remembered I wanted to send you the link. And speakin gof, Fountain messed my account up with that nostr connect mess so that's why I havent been boosting or commenting (plus Im broke AF), but still listening
Damn I've heard alot of people had issues with connecting it but mine connected seemlessly without a hitch. Sucks that you had that issue. Yeah works been wearing me down making me hand no energy left to read for myself.
Yes human action is good huge one. It was long as fuck. Ill have to re listen at least 2 more times.
