I’ve been struggling with a way to disabuse a nocoiner friend of his admiration of Charles Hoskinson 🤮 Here’s what i settled on: “There are a lot of very smart people in the space. Alex mashinsky was smart. SBF was smart! Richard heart, CZ the list goes on and on. The rewards for shitty behavior are astronomical, but when you listen to these guys talk they do so very convincingly. IMO it’s wise to take a very skeptical view of anyone at the head of a crypto project.” Boring! How to do better?

Bitcoin crashing. It’s all over

I need some help! A Bitcoin curious friend today asked me why I would claim Charles Hoskinson is a scammer. Rather than telling him lol, HFSP, does anyone have recommendations on something I could send him to read?

Anyone do any skate skiing? Entered a 25k race yesterday on a lark and it whipped my ass conclusively. I’m decently fit too! Have a few ultramarathons under my belt. Skating is another level of cardiorespiratory fitness…

Do you have A PERSON who orange-pilled you? I do, and I feel an immense debt of gratitude to him. We both read Atlas Shrugged around the same time, and I was floored by the idea that #bitcoin makes Galt’s Gulch *truly actionable* (opting out of fiat with bitcoin = moving to GG). I’m an amateur 3d printer, and this simple little project is one of a few that I’ve taken from concept, to design, to implementation - and I did it as a gift to the person that orange-pilled me!

#Milei must be near the top of the global ‘inconvenient people who need to slip out of a window’ list for the folks who keep that sort of list.. Were #Argentina oil rich he might already be dead! Fortune preserve that man!

The brutal compromises of politics leave no one’s integrity unscathed. But Javier #Milei might be as close to a real life Francisco D’Anconia as we’ve seen It’s goddamn inspiring
