I think Jiang’s failure on Bitcoin is hubris and ignorance. I’ve watched a bunch of his videos. He’s great on history, but I’d give him an F in economics. He doesn’t know how much he doesn’t know about economics. The backlash by Bitcoiners is because he’s yet another popular person who we’d expect to get it by now. It’s painfully obvious for us, so it’s frustrating when someone is so close, but still doesn’t get it.

Well yeah for us Bitcoiner the sentences - "Where are the servers? I want to know where the Bitcoin databases are, physically?" made us laugh so hard, it was instant meme. Even the host started laughing. And now the joke is just extended : )). And I don't see it in negative way. I have seen the guy before but never watched his content.
He literally came out of nowhere and was suddenly everywhere. Dude glows. His purpose is to shit on everything western but he can't acknowledge #Bitcoin because central banking is a pillar of communism. They have to control the money. His videos are a demoralization effort. Pushing youth to lose faith in the system. Probably deservedly, but he's not without intention.

A big issue with Jiang is his aversion to money as a concept. He believes it’s a tool of the elite to control the serfs and ignores the inherently useful qualities of money
