Rekt
God he’s clueless 🙄
His ego is so huge too that he refuses to listen to any points outside what he already believes
Reminds me of Sam Harris
Ouch. Never selling to him until $10M.
What a fantastic reading experience this site offers
we loooove a pop-up attack
Just click ‘allow’ everywhere and you can start reading instantly.
The website hosting the content will start reading everything from you as well, but hey…! Nothing comes for free in life 🤓
Ahhmazing!!
same experience as Zerohedge tbh 🤦♂️even the anti-establishment are using the same flawed business model
Look forward to him admitting his mistake, again, a year from now.
I can't wait to watch this one play out 😄
I don't know who this dude is, but he looks tough. Like a bodyguard or something.
I’m glad he finally found some courage is his convictions
My takeaway. No matter how intelligent you think you are, arrogance can cancel out the benefits.
Everyone used to love him and speak so highly of him. But every time he’s opened his mouth for the past 3 or so years. Hes become more and more obnoxious and easier to dislike.
Wonderful! Let's revisit in a few years. Shorting #Bitcoin in long term worked so far zero times.
It's instructive to watch people who are affected by WHO says things about bitcoin vs their actual arguments. Friend of mine sent me Taleb's "takedown" of Bitcoin and it made me think less of Taleb than bitcoin. That coupled with his arrogance.
Thanks for link! I sent zap paid with Bitcoin ;-)
Impossible, according to this normie article.
```
Contrary to its original intent, Bitcoin has not delivered on many of its promises, such as being a transactional tool but instead has become a "speculative island," the Black Swan author says.
```
Yes, it's not possible. Bitcoin is a speculation tool!
I just sent you a ~~zap~~ speculative tool.
The world needs more such famous philosophers. The more of them there are, the more of their listeners, the lower the price of bitcoin will be and the longer the time, the more opportunities to buy it for those who understand a bright future ;-)
Damn, it fucking hurts to read 🤣
Still blows my mind that this dude wrote the forward to The Bitcoin Standard.
He will join the crowd of forced buyers in the next bull run. I don't speculate on bitcoin price, but what do you guys think the damage will be?
That must be the end so….sell your sats! 😉🧡

Nice. We need some laughs these days.
Really just sad, isn't it? 🤦♂
About time he put his money where his mouth is
So he sold BEFORE the 2021 big pump and he is telling us that he is short NOW? He will HFSP.
Finally getting words and actions in alignment. Great step
i love taleb's books more than most books i own, and reading them changed my life for the better
he is also an insufferable and miserable person
such is life, oh well 😅
Just yesterday Jim Rickards says the black swan theory was junk science. Seems like we’re seeing the fall of the relevance of Taleb.
His books were very interesting though. RIP Taleb’s Reputation.
What a dolt.
Lol this article is written so bad
He sed a long time ago that "bitcoin isn't good" and now he doubled down on that statement
Headline "He admits he was wrong"

Bitcoin is the quintessence of antifragility.
He overtly just wants more stacking time, like a lot of us!
Is Taleb the new Inverse Cramer? Or more of a Peter Schiff type troll? 🤔😅
It's not enough to to just not buy Bitcoin if you don't believe it has value, you must stand on the tracks and short it? Good luck...
