Dudes a blowhard looking for attention.
This was my initial take away
I made the mistake of listening to the dude's 25 minute talk at BTC Prague and I really want the 25 minutes back. He said absolutely nothing with a bunch of trust me bro anecdotes, Hinting that you should just trust him because he has friends in high places and he just knows bro trust him bro.
😑 insufferable imo.
You're confirming my instincts. Much appreciated. I'm so tires of the engagement bait "pay attention to me I know secret information that will all be revealed if you just keep giving me your attention" bullshit
Who would you be referring to?
I wouldn't have listened to it, but somebody posted it in a group chat im in and was like, hey, could I get the groups take on this? I'm curious and I didn't really know what I was getting into, so I tried to listen to it genuinely for about 18 minutes, and then I started getting pissed. 😅
That Jack Cruz numpy that has been making the rounds lately.
Lol. Thank you for listening so I didn't have to
Glad to be of service. 🫡
WWG1WGA!!! TRUST THE PLAN! HE'S PLAYING 5D CHESS! THIS IS THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM! THE LAST DOMINO IS ABOUT TO FALL! MAGA!
I will try to simplify for you Mr Galt: 1) Kruse does a pod with Nat before his keynote address 2) Nat also does pod with Saylor 3) Kruse makes a case of bad actors within the bitcoin ecosystem orchestrating a spam attack, wolves in sheep clothing basically during his keynote 4) After his keynote, Nat allegedly then declined to release the pod both to Kruse and to the BTC Prague folks, with no explanation offered 5) Kruse reaches out to her and asks for a copy of the footage so that he releases it independently and that request too is declined 6) Saylor is allegedly one of the wolves and thus Nat is allegedly siding with the spammers. The end. Any qsns?
He’s been “sitting on it for three fucking years” and proceeds to say nothing and waste 25 minutes of my time.
Also people can post (or not post) whatever they want on THEIR podcast. Not posting your interview is not censorship.
Yeah you're right. Even if true, just fucking post it. And personally, I wouldn't do a podcast unless I was promised access to the raw data recorded. But that's a separate matter related to the first.
I have a general rule that if I can't give specifics, I just keep it to myself. I don't like being edged so I try not to do it to others. Anyone seeing me do it should call me out as an asshole, please 😂
I was referring more tauris claim about his own interactions with Natalie, not the kruse related situation. Specially as to his claim to know something important but not just spitting it out.
Did ___ just ___?!
It's basically all clickbait, which is a descendant of lying. It's just lying dressed up as something else.
Just reposting something apologizing. I misread tauris post. I thought he was talking for himself but was relaying what kruse said. I posted an apology separately.
Exactly
I can't speak for the context and generally agree but some people are at risk poking the government bear. For example, in my experience (all the EPA stuff) they monitor your socials, business accounts, and so on. I knew guys who literally had the EPA's council print full poster boards of facebook posts with memes on them they brought in front of the jury. If you're part of, even a civil investigation they will use anything you post publicly against you, if for no other reason then to shame you in front of a jury.
They asked us on a call why the business owners and myself "wiped" our personal facebook accounts of completely personal activity unrelated to business, casually on a phone call with our council. He warned us to try not to look more suspicious, it doesn't look good.
If and ABC is watching you, they're watching _everything_ you do, full stop.
attention is the ultimate currency
Ok, but Kruse has been ambiguously ranting about knowing secret information for years but literally saying nothing of use to anyone and im just personally tired of it. If he can’t say then he should just shut the fuck up instead of engagement baiting people to listen to pods he’s on so he can masturbate about what a genius he is without saying anything of consequence.
If you can’t tell us then just shut the fuck up, otherwise you’re just generating advertisement revenue.
Which is really just time. I've gotten pretty ruthless about this lately. I can't fucking stand clickbait and time wasting. It's a lie. Deal breaking. Fuck those people. I don't give a damn about the algorithm game either. Sell yourself out if you want. I'm out.
Is it rude to frontrun grandpa? 🤭
YouTube is all the way out then.
He makes a big effort not to be liked 🐸
No, the people who do that are. I still follow people who dont do it. As annoying as the YT algorithm is lately, it has a benefit that it shows me content from people I recently watched. Meaning if I only watch those people, that's what I'll get.
But, if you're right. You're right. I'll see what happens as I unsub those people.
Worst case I save the cost of YT Premium 😂
people actually pay for YouTube premium?
That's condescending, but yes, I pay for Premium for moral reasons. And I still have an ad blocker turned on.
I don't take it too personally though. Even my own wife thinks some of the shit I do is bizarre.
The frustration with protracted assertions masking a core argument is remarkably consistent across Nostr. Observing this pattern – the prioritization of volume over clarity – suggests a significant segment is rewarding demonstrably unproductive engagement.
If you think a talking head like Brunell had plebs best interests at heart, you're not the sharpest tool in the shed. I always she was just a wannabe influencer that really only knew surface level info on Bitcoin. Classic "riding the coattails" of the movement
What?
Not for nothing, but seems like a medical quack who "graduated" to a Bitcoin conspiracy theorist. Website is heavy on "shop", light on "peer-reviewed publications."
I've seen the equivalent grift in the UFO/UAP world... "I've got a secret but you've got to buy my book / listen to my podcast / it'll come out in 2 weeks."
Kruse’s argument is that as chip manufacturers (like TSMC) push semiconductor technology down to 2nm, 1nm, and sub-nanometer levels, they are running headfirst into Landauer’s Limit.
Once chip manufacturing reaches the Landauer limit, miners can no longer make chips more energy-efficient by changing their architecture.
So who ever controls the source of cheap energy wins, and that is nation states centralization an existential threat to Bitcoin.
He is calling the 6 Bitcoiners frauds for not addressing this.
But he is a fucking idiot. Regardless of how much energy you throw at Bitcoin, difficult adjustments will make sure you get a block every 10 minutes. Period.
But that’s not an “argument” it’s a fact that anyone who’s been thinking about compute at all has known for decades. I still don’t understand what he thinks the conspiracy is. What does he expect them to “address”. I’m just tired of all these fucking sad people whose moment has passed desperately grasping for relevance.
I don’t know.
He is a fucking idiot
You know who, trust us bro..
No worries friend 🤙
🤝
Could I ask you to spell out the relationship between the prospective impending nation state monopoly on cheap energy and the 10 minute difficulty adjustment?
Big energy would seem to crowd out smaller, decentralized miners as more mining power is brought online rewarding the big centralized miners with access to cheap, nationalized power.
If I have understood this right, this should be a legit concern for anyone who understands that bitcoin is only hard because its nodes are decentralized.
Kruse also claimed to have a recording of his own from the Brunel interview. Why does he want to release her copy? This guy is a primadonna. Why not just make another recording of the same material on his own? Does he really have his own recording of the interview? Is he afraid he won't remember the same story he came up with when he was with her, and she will expose him as a BS artist?
