Sometimes it's difficult to talk to people because they are overly sensitive and can't differentiate between calling someone stupid and calling an idea stupid.

My statement that only foolish people give their keys to third parties isn't directly calling anyone stupid, but it's provocatively suggesting that those who think it's a good idea may not be the most intelligent.

This is similar to when I say that only idiots believe Ethereum is decentralized. I'm not calling anyone an idiot unless they genuinely are.

If you look at my statement, I didn't say to the person, "You're stupid." I just made a subtle jab that the idea is truly foolish.

Daniel, I consider you an intelligent person, and I believe it's not very difficult to understand that being too lenient in accepting stupidity is what has made our society so flawed in various aspects.

I don’t know who that guy is, but thats a really dumb idea.

You know, Daniel, people who are not responsible for themselves and always want someone else to take on their own responsibilities are either childish or cowardly.

This is an actual panelist from the 2023 Miami Bitcoin conference. Clearly someone who should know better.

Brother, speaking at a conference doesn't automatically make someone's ideas the best.

Blind idolatry leads people to the same old problem of trusting without verifying.

If Satoshi were to appear now and say that Bitcoin should become a proof-of-stake (POS) system, does that automatically make it a good idea?

For God's sake...

Wait...you don't think I agree with this guy...

I know you don’t, you aren’t dumb 🤣😉
