Bitcoiners basically swooped in at the last second and stole their girls right before they were about to make it big and stole their thunder. Ofc they are upset. Imagine being right about the problem but getting the solution wrong, it’s a tough pill to swallow
Discussion
The ridicule that we face as Bitcoiners from normies is also abundant in the goldbug community. Finance ppl mock and make fun of goldbugs all the time. They were waiting for so long to prove everyone wrong, and they in fact were wrong also lol.
As a libertarian that studied Austrian econ in college I actually listened to Peter back in the day lol so it’s come full circle . It’s immense sour grapes
This is what happens when you let your ego get in the way and stop learning. All Austrians understand sound money but the gold bugs couldn’t pivot and now they are haters for life
Just bc the ops all parrot the same stuff doesn’t mean they are right. Peter is mad as hell lol
I’m sure he has nightmares about the bitcoin Max Keiser gave him that he lost lol most acute bds case I’ve seen
How could he not lol
Most definitely why he is such a hater.
Same with Tim Pool and Alex Jones. Max told them way early and they ignored him. They aren’t haters, but they are definitely sour about not listening to him back then
It’s human nature. But it’s worse for Peter since he actually understands economics and the problem of fiat. Jones and pool are basically idiots when it comes to money. Peter isn’t
Peter had been talking about sound money and the dangers of fiat since before bitcoin existed
So when Bitcoiners now come in that only figured this problem out recently he gets triggered by that as well lol.
Exactly
So when these ops all parrot he’s doing it for engagement, they are completely missing the mark 😂 they are the noobs just figuring this problem out after he’s been talking about it for decades 😂
I guess if you don’t know about his background it’s easy to doubt someone could be so petty and sour lol
Yeah and no one ever calls them out and explains this either. I know first hand lol he was one of the few sound money guys that was vocal during the Great financial crisis. I was in college and the only two ppl I remember that nailed it were Ron Paul and him
He spends half his pod talking about bitcoin, quite amazing really
