Brunell was never a hero of mine. I have always wondered how someone with her apparent level of intelligence could attract such a large following. But then I realized that many so-called influencers tend to lack either intellectual depth or ethical integrity, so I stopped being surprised. That said, anyone who has significant influence over Bitcoin's development should be viewed through a highly critical lens. In my view, they are natural targets for the deep state and the globalist cabal (aka the Epstein class), and their statements, no matter how persuasive, deserve to be taken with a grain of salt and examined always extra carefully.
