I’ve always thought that he just wants to chill, mainly after everything he went through when the pharma industrial complex declared total war on him. He came from nothing and now has like $500M and growing. He probably still lives well below his means and is well diversified, even with a little bit of Bitcoin for sure.

He doesn’t strike me as someone ready to go to war again, especially not against the final boss, central banking. His takes on economics are ultra retarded socialist nonsense. I know because I used to believe similar stuff. The episode from today with Duncan was such a disaster that I called it quits after 40 mins. It’s not until you combine Bitcoin with Austrian economics that you finally disintermediate all the wacky, inconsistent dilemmas that he spouts.

Controlled opposition? Yea sure possibly. I think the simplest explanation is that doesn’t have the vigor or need to grok Bitcoin and Austrian economics because, like I said, he just wants to chill with his family, friends, and people that he finds interesting.
