Daniel, love the work you do. Glad to see you wishing well to Jack. And I get your angle on loans being generally risky behavior. That said...the extent to which you've gone at Jack for loans has been a bit wild. As Jack often points out, he builds the products he wants to use. I think the only people I've heard warn about the dangers of loans, short of those who just caution against using Bitcoin as collateral at all, have been Jack and Mauricio (of LEDN). The idea that "they wouldn't do it if they didn't want your Bitcoin" is just frankly an unfair accusation, and frankly, with your Tradfi background, you should get that. The providers of liquidity see a revenue stream above other common rates (such as mortgages or car loans), Strike sees a cut of that, and the customer sees a way to get immediate liquidity at the cost of risk taken. There's no rehypothecation, there's no penalty for prepayment, and there's no 100:1 or other totally insane LTV's being used. Do I personally see myself using this? No -- but I have access to other sources of credit, all of which I'd be more likely to tap (aside perhaps from maxing out a credit card, just due to the interest). Do I think you or I has ANY place deciding what risks someone else should or shouldn't be able to take though? Absolutely not. You're perfectly right to caution people and spell out the risks -- I do the same. But painting Jack as a snake for making options available in far more responsible ways than we've seen in the past is frankly not in line with your character as otherwise exhibited. So yea, probably a weird post to bother throwing this out there on, given that you are extending a bit of good will. But it has been something that's irked me a bit, given that frankly it has seemed a completely unwarranted attack on Jack that perhaps I've missed, but I never saw levered by you against Mauricio over at Ledn (not saying it should be, but it seems an arbitrary distinction). If I'm missing something let me know and happy to examine my points. Good day to you both.

Yes, I agree. Any attempt to stop people from asking questions is cancel culture. Not the other way around. Regarding Jack getting criticism, I think that it has a lot more to do with the comments made by npub1546jstdajzf6gw4plvr6z4kpcaxtvl3h0zjdv5gw8tx8uup5d6rq8ef9mt. On npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um 's podcast Simon went as far as saying that Jack is in bed with the mafia. And then he explained why he thinks that is true. Anyone who is interested should listen to that podcast.

Aint change the fact: 

"Jack Mallers, you are in bed with the mafia."
