⚡️🎙️ NEW - Tucker Carlson says he’s a hard "NO" on Bitcoin, claiming it was created by the CIA and calling himself “a gold person.” “I fear it’ll become a scam run by financial elites and politicians to tighten control over society… Nobody can tell me who Satoshi is. I grew up in a CIA family.”

The current dollar based system, with central banks and regulated financial institutions that can be compelled to cooperate with authorities, is far more aligned with what Tucker suggests intelligence agencies would want.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Also, he can't seem to keep his story straight about when he knew his father was a cia agent. He has said he only learned recently but at other times seems to say he knew along. Interesting 🚩

this feels like the gaslightning for 'climate reasons' on the left and will probably actually put a big chunk of people off bitcoin for a number of years

I love Tucker but he’s technically illiterate. He’s also not spoken to any hardcore bitcoiners that can actually explain it to him. It’s always shitcoiners or Roger Ver. The good news is, he’s intellectually honest and willing to admit when he’s wrong. One day he’ll get it.

Sure you would ever see it, when it's right in front your eyes for 10 years?

At least he admitted that he doesn't understand bitcoin, so that I don't have to point that out.
