Why hasn’t there been a single person like this to go on a big podcast and say something like: “You want change? Everyone pull all your money and assets out of the financial system and into Bitcoin self custody as quickly as possible. Because fuck these people. Fuck banks. Fuck your government.” End of podcast. It’s what needs to be said, but it probably wouldn’t even work because the masses who would do that, the ones being raped by the system, don’t have any savings or assets to pull. Whereas the people who do have assets to pull are the ones benefiting from the rapacious system, so why would they? There will eventually be defectors among asset holders, either out of virtue, prisoners dilemma, etc.

Pretty smart, based guy. Hopefully he figures out Bitcoin and Austrian economics, although I expect to be disappointed.

Pull out, starve the beast, watch Jamie Dimon and Janet Yellen squirm.

I’ve thought about this, and my conclusion is that most people just like complaining. They get a high off of it. If you ask, they will tell you they’re searching for a solution, but they’re not. If you propose one, they will make a million excuses why it won’t work before they spend 30 seconds actually considering it. The truth is that most people actually like victimhood.
Yes! What’s even funnier about this, is that Frank Wright said this directly to Tucker about conservatives, meaning Tucker too, which he is 100% guilty of. At least Tucker then chuckled and admitted it, although I doubt he’ll change. image
Couple that with keeping 100% in self custody while refusing to pay taxes and you got a winner for taking down the state.

Because that person would get buried before the clip even went viral. The financial system has too many gatekeepers. Bitcoin doesn't need a spokesperson though. It just keeps working.

Because anyone with that kind of platform has something to lose inside the current system. The incentives don't align until they do. Then they get Bitcoin at the price they deserve.
