Disagreements are totally okay. In fact, I like them. So, cheers -- 🍻

Do you mean that you personally know him? Or that you have known his public persona for many years?

I don't know him at all, but I did follow him for many years too. But then, like i said, I quit following him.

I think that he is intelligent. No question about it. He is just not honest. He has an agenda.

I would like to know why do you think that the only book he seems to have read about Bitcoin is "Hijacking Bitcoin"? To be honest, I have not read it but it's funny that it seems to be ***the*** bitcoin book he recommends.

And why he does not seem to get even the basics of Bitcoin or fiat right when he obviously can understand very complex systems?

Yeah, but what I mean is this: Bret's top skills are muddying the waters, deception, and all kind of shit. And he is good at it. Bret needs the attention to do all that. So, that is why I simply ignore that toilet brush.

Is this the same guy who:

- wondered if Elon or anyone else in the Trump admin has read "Hijacking Bitcoin";
- criticized the mainstream media and called it “journalistic malpractice” for ***not*** mentioning “the Bitcoin revelations” in the Epstein files;
- said that it’s problematic to talk about Bitcoin as a secure, decentralized and denationalized cryptocurrency, because it’s impossible to distinguish those who believe in it and are therefore invested from those who are invested in it and therefore believe;
- accused Bitcoiners of derailing discussion of alternative cryptocurrencies (=shitcoins), and said that Bitcoin is taking up all the oxygen in the room?

If yes, I don't pay too much attention to what that toilet brush look alike says.

Haha, glad you liked it!

I think that us Bitcoin plebs have a lot to learn from Saylor. About Bitcoin? No. About deception. Saylor tweets:

“Many Bitcoiners I respect support BIP 110 (***I respect you***). I understand and share their desire to protect Bitcoin (***We are on the same side, on the side of Bitcoin***), but believe the proposed cure is more dangerous than the condition (***but now you, my teammate, who is just trying to protect bitcoin, are making a mistake***).”

Samson is trying to do the same, but he is talking too much about himself.

All of this shit would be so much more credible if Saylor had at some point liked Bitcoin as peer-to-peer cash.

Great job! In many ways, Bukele is just like Saylor. In the beginning both did just enough -- the bare minimum -- to earn the trust of many Bitcoiners, and after gaining their trust, they show what they really are about. Day after day it becomes clearer what they are about.

reading that book is on my to do list too...

I have not thought about the wording, but I tend to agree.
