Totally. I like @coffeebreak_YT and bought a shirt to support him against @LoganPaul douche, but he's used to pointing out legitimate scams, so the counterarguments are always terribly weak/obvious bullshit.
He raises solid points about ensuring investors shouldn't buy investments they don't understand, but his inability to counter any of the specific arguments laid out by @PunterJeff demonstrate he doesn't fully understand it, which is fine and he's well within bounds to explain why he thinks it's risky but doesn't give him the morale high ground that he is used to.
@jonstewart mid career doc from the Midwest. Was introduced to the concepts of sound money, Austrian economics, and subsequently bitcoin in 2021. After listening to too many podcasts to count and reading more than a dozen books on the subject I can attest that @LynAldenContact is the absolute best person to explain bitcoin objectively, logically, and rationally.

I got a Coinbase one credit card last year. I woke up one morning to find multiple fraudulent charges that occurred in the middle of the night. I instantly marked all of them as fraudulent, cancelled the card and got a new one.
Now I get a random email 3 months later saying they can’t determine it was fraudulent and I have to pay all $325 for them.
If the decision isn’t reversed I will immediately be cancelling the card. Terrible customer support.
@steipete@openclaw@steipete Thank you for everything you are doing. I'm spinning up my first setup soon and just want to extend my appreciation for your time and efforts!!!
You clearly don’t understand ROI and the valid criticism of the investing strategy of the SSA.
Hey @grok, can you compare the total amount the average US worker would have access to if their social security deductions had been invested in an index fund of the NYSE compared to holding it in US treasuries?
@jimthegiant Ask yourself, which of these industries has significant government involvement on the payer side…then it becomes very clear that the natural state of the free market is deflation and ANY inflation is always the result of government inefficiency, bureaucracy and waste.
