The picture I have attached to this thread is a person called Nassim Nicholas Taleb, he's an extremely intelligent individual who has amassed a huge fanbase for his ideas and insight.

He is the inventor of the concept of "Black Swan" events, as he wrote the very book that describes it. He was a proponent of bitcoin and advocated for it in 2018.

Yet by February 2021, Taleb declared Bitcoin “a failure” and since then he has continued his downward spiral into no-coinerdom, claiming Bitcoin “has characteristics of an open Ponzi.”

How is he so right about everything? This man is BASED

“There’s no connection between inflation and Bitcoin,” he said, referencing a popular line from Bitcoin devotees about Bitcoin’s being a “hedge against inflation.”

“If you want a hedge against inflation, buy a piece of land, grow—I don’t know—olives on it. You’ll have olive oil if the price collapses. With Bitcoin, there’s no connection.”

I think he's right, and the fact that btc only did 3x the last ath during the last so called bullrun is proof of it.
It was always a ponzi and now that every retard is in on it it's over.

Bitcoin is a greta first try at the new technology and have first mover advantage for it, but it has no reason to be used when monero exists and that government backed cryptos are going to be a thing.

Seth Godin's works are better in every conceivable metric.

Taleb writes books for people that want to seem smart by having big books on their shelf.

Bitcoin offers nothing that better alternatives can't. Even in 2018 people were clinging to "but it's the first one!!!1" It was a proof of concept and a case study in decentralized scalability, human greed got in the way of it being all it could be (blockstream) and now the gap between bitcoin and the next best thing is so big it actually might never catch up.

Instead of using it for commerce and taking gains as a side effect of slow, limited but genuine adoption, retards used it for gains and took anemic, often token use of it in extremely limited commerce as a side effect. Cucked out of freedom by your own greed, a greed that was sown by the very system you said you'd destroy. Poetic.

That's wrong though. Bitcoin is the only digital asset. Everything else is an illegal security.
