Being honest, I was taken in by what he said. On the surface it seems reasonable but after I heard what he said about Bitcoin I realised that he only has a surface understanding of things. When you push or dig deeper especially if it’s something you know about, his arguments collapse.

Are the cia servers in the room with us right now?
He is one of those people who have deep knowledge of one or two subjects and when people start to blow smoke up their asses they think they can start to talk about things they are ignorant about.

Omg there's a server in my living room ,🫣
how much of an agenda you'd say they have and through what prisma if so
yesn't if anyone is by any means involved with various financial instruments, even in what currency do they store their earned money, then it does help (if they can sufficiently make decisions based on them ofc, which most don't)
Currency yes, but I don’t consider that geopolitics, more simple economics. In most of the world there is at least some market for currencies beyond just the local currency. And most success with financial instruments comes from set and forget strategies, people who actively trade geopolitics generally lose.
well yes, as a turbotweaker myself, i like it is a fun rabbit hole at times, fully knowing that it's all he said she said pr optics bs anyway that's at the end just negotiation tactics
I love when the internet latches on to a new hero-genius because they always get exposed. He had some good takes, but I could tell he didn't understand bitcoin from the getgo. Some people think they can predict the future, as though they are smarter than God. This guy is one of those guys.
There’s no one source of truth because much like in bitcoin we have to assume everyone is lying all the time and you have to work out the incentives and game theory for yourself. Here’s a heuristic worth remembering though: the pentagon is lying about its capabilities nearly 100% of the time. For example if you read in the news that the pentagon have no interceptor missiles then you should assume they have a fuck ton of interceptor missiles. So why would they lie about that? Three fold and you can track the incentives. The lie pulls three levers for the pentagon. Lever one: makes adversaries feel overconfident. Lever two: get more money from congress. Lever three: prevent allies from asking for more interceptors so that you can stockpile them yourself. If they tell the truth they pull zero levers. So the lie buys them more. Now imagine that every piece of global news information from every country, military, intel agency etc… is equally complex and equally fake and you’ll see why it’s hard to get to a single source of truth on anything.
When the British cracked enigma at Bletchley park they told no one and came up with a plan to take the minimal amount of actions necessary to win the war meaning they let their own men die more frequently in order to not tip the Germans. All warfare is deception and warfare is a permanent state of being. Find the incentive find the truth.
Every. single.time. I start enjoying someone and their thoughts...I think "this MF is super smart". And then they end up spewing nonsense about something I know about and I'm disappointed.
oh yeah, and tor is about 20% of bitcoin nodes. haha. good luck finding those to destroy
For me the best way I’ve found to determine truth is by having friends who are ex special forces. Those guys know their shit incredibly well and are quiet professionals.
God give me the confidence of this man that publicly talks like this about something he never bothered to understand! (The unfortunate paradox of being more confident the less you know....)

All wars are banker's wars. This includes gender wars, identity politics wars, left vs right wars, race wars, religious wars and of course class warfare. #Bitcoin fixes this. When we defund the banks by hodling decentralized debt-free money, they lose their ability to wage war on us. Then We The People can decide when and why to wage war, if at all, by contributing our hard earned sats toward such a cause. Death notes will no longer be printed from a mint, they must be earned though our consent. Only then can we see the nonsense that plagues our society fall away. image

That's very true. Alot of people I looked up too online fall from grace or turn out to be idiot or a puppet of sorts. Always happen in time.

I do get acting vibes from him the more I hear him speak, not sure if it's just my bias.

He has an English BA degree. And he has taught high school. Yet, he presents himself as an expert in geopolitics and claims to be a professor. The guy is a fraud.
The audacity of a Federal agent, who has years of recorded podcasts projecting drastically incorrect Bitcoin prices (which have undoubtedly fucked many a pleb), getting mad about a take. FedHodl is the same retard that pumped Trump, GBTC, and Strategy.
he like many other normies fuck up when it comes to bitcoin. very knowledgeable still. most likely a psyop. even the most 'brilliant minds' still don't understand bitcoin. he just proves the point.

No one is ever 100% right. Not me, not you, not him. Doesn't mean he's wrong about this that he isn't right about other things.

He's the Chinese version of Peter Zeihan and about the same level of understanding in geopolitics.

“We are the servers 🫡”
But he's SO wrong about this and it's so easy to get the answer. A lack of knowledge is temporary but a lack of judgment is permanent.

It’s something , that a group of people get together and say”if someone listens to what we teach and memorizes the course.they are considered “schooled” and we give them a piece of paper (degree) with a fancy stamp on it.”(charging an obscene amount for it) “They will be called a professor and can go and teach other people to get a paper with a stamp. These will be the “educated” in society “ Reminds me of the emperor’s new clothes
