I listened to this and still love Brett. Even though he sold all his bitcoin and is getting caught up in the whole “hijacked” Bitcoin narrative. I don’t think it has anything to do with intelligence though - just a misunderstanding of what Fiat is. These bcashers are bitter that Lightning solved fast daily transactions. Also that Bitcoin thrived after the fork and BCH is worthless now (Ver/Patterson are even shilling Zano privacy coins now). They are caught up in an influencers ideas of what Bitcoin should be rather than understanding of how protocol consensus works. The main problem I see with the arguments they lay out here is that in order to claim that Bitcoin is hijacked - I need to believe them and what their vision of Bitcoin is. That’s a fiat concept. Bitcoin is not made by any sort of decree. Just protocol consensus - and a hard fork is not consensus. At the same time they have solid concerns about the attempt to centralize bitcoin via core - it’s just a complete nihilistic approach though. Their claim is essentially- Epstein tried to hijack it. Bc funds tried to hijack it. Core devs tried to hijack it. They didn’t get consensus so might as well just go back to the same old fiat system. At the end they propose a terrible “privacy” coin that is completely built off the trust that a singular developer has claimed to solve the problem - the truth is “freedom dollar and zano” solve nothing and is a form of fiat currency at every level just like the dollar - just decree by developer instead of government.
