Bret strikes me as just being slow to adopt unorthodox ideas, not unwilling. He’s come a long way on vaccines, for instance, and freely admits that he is late to the party.
True, that shows promise. The big unorthodox one he got right in real time was mRNA, for which I’ll always give him tons of credit. Maybe Bitcoin is harder for him because it’s slow rolling, not punctuated. He’s also a former leftist and still a pretty big statist who shits on libertarians. 0 understanding or study of Austrian economics, as far as I can tell. Grokking Bitcoin takes a ton of PoW!
