Deep in their heart every Brit wishes that they were an American @Peter McCormack

I always get a little scared when @Peter McCormack has a gun

Do not resent people higher than you. It’s a trap, because you cannot become something you are resenting. Admire those you wish to be like and study them. Over time you will become like them.

lol the worst thing Peter schiff can imagine for bitcoin is it going to 75k lololololol

Down horrendous.

My take? There was no bull market this year. So it’s not destiny that there will be a bear market next year. Could be, but it’s not destiny is all I’m sayin

Hilarious

I value my free speech as much as I value my own life, because they are the same thing.

This was also the exact moment I first heard about bitcoin, while listening to this podcast outside of my shitty apartment.

There were vigils outside of apple stores when Steve Jobs died. I always found that interesting. People held candlelit vigils for a ruthless CEO who by all accounts was an asshole both professionally and privately. If I had to guess why it’s because Steve was more than ruthless CEO. Steve was the chief designer of our era. Steve’s aesthetic became the dominant aesthetic. Every tech product these days is derivative of Steve’s vision. The idea that technology was art, that’s Steve. And that aesthetic became deeply intertwined with modern life. The objects we touch and carry with us, the phone I am typing this on now. All of it is wrapped in a visual and tactile language that jobs imposed. Aesthetics bind us far deeper than we understand, because like Steve knew beauty is important. Maybe even paramount.

“My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets.”
