The fact they allowed this lady to go on podcasts absolutely blows my mind 😂

"I didn't learn economics at all, so I don't know how to talk about Bitcoin from a monetary standpoint."

It's all good, as long as you learned about DEI, you are equipped to "touch the protocol" of the most important peer-to-peer electronic cash system in the world.

But you didn't really need this lady to state the obvious, you could've just looked at their actions.

I don't want to make fun of this young lady, because it's not her fault. But this is serious. We need to make sound decisions about filling sensitive positions in important Bitcoin projects.

Many open source projects have been socially captured by the mind virus over the last few years and it's clear by now that this is a major vulnerability in the ecosystem.

Bitcoin has better cultural defenses than any other software ecosystem, but this has been a shot across our collective bow.

Sober up, sailors.

The only remedy I see is a fund for development that thoroughly vets the recipients. Core is not a cultural Vanguard. Nor do they have any inventive to be one. Nor do they regard one as good and necessary. These are academics treating the project like a grant program, in which to ride their hobby horses and make a name for themselves. Bitcoin is a line item on their CV; not a revolutionary occupation.

> I don't want to make fun of this young lady, because it's not her fault.

I agree, however, I'm not making fun of the way she looks or a disability.

I'm making fun of the fact that she's unqualified for the job and knows it.

She isn't a cashier at Burger King. Her actions have downstream effects on millions of people.

> because it's not her fault.

It is her fault. No one forced her to take a job she isn't qualified for and make ~$400K a year to turn Bitcoin into arbitrary data storage.

Making fun of her being unqualified might prompt a few people to switch to Knots, but we still need more, viable implementations.

"sober up, sailors" I don't think that is possible.
