You think Peterson really gets Bitcoin?

I don't, as he didn't put in the effort to understand it from first principles. He has to take bitcoiner's word for it all, and thus he is understandably skeptical (too good to be true, etc).

He was close, but he's highly invested in the fiat world.

Without understanding the fiat world.

When people ask you to explain Bitcoin, don't. Talk about money. Simple concepts. Why do we have money? What purpose does it serve? What properties should it have to serve that purpose?

That's been my guess as well.

The podcast with peterson and the bitcoin book club is still my favorite podcast. I was orange pilled because of that podcast and the bitcoin standard. I left the fiat standard and havent looked back.

Well done.

When you, Breedlove, and Vallis spoke with him he started to get it. But you are correct, he needs to put in the work himself of asking questions and trying to punch holes in the Bitcoin thesis. Until he does that and satisfies himself, he won’t grok it.
