Elon is both the best bullshitter AND the most impressive entrepreneur in history. It's wild how he can make any conversation seem simple and accessible and still challenges people who are extremely specialised in an area. He says stuff that is truly imaginative and makes it sound obvious (e.g. all compute will be in space in 5-10 years). A lot is likely oversold but there's an element of vision that will transpire and pushes things forward. Actually incredible to be alive to see it and even have him explain things on podcasts.
(This is a completely separate observation from his ethics in various domains - I think the above is true regardless of other conclusions you make about him)

2026-02-07 10:55:58 UTC

A good portion of my Bitcoin is worth 0, regardless of the price, unless we have ways to spend. Fortunately many places do accept it, and Bitrefill is indespenaible to me but these are not guaranteed. Even today it's much harder to use Bitcoin for some transactions such as putting down a deposit for a home - both the exchange (even hardcore bitcoiner ones) need to know where funds originated, and most solicitors refuse to do a source of funds check for it.
If you actually care about the value of your Bitcoin (i.e. what you can buy with it) then adoption is far more important than any arbitrary narrative about price. Zero times anything is zero.

I always thought Bitcoin was interesting and I was intellectually open to it, but it was only after I rode the 2014-17 bear, sold some to break even, and then watched it runaway to $4k that my conviction truly solidified.

Every time I hear an influencer say "gold leads, bitcoin follows" I wait for an explanation of the mechanism but it never comes. What's the rationale or have you just cherry picked a few coincidences?
Why would bitcoin not respond at the same time to money printing - it's the same people with the same info?
Only thing I can think is some kind of strange investment conspiracy to pump gold and then accelerate the gains with a follow up bitcoin play. This seems like a stretch.
(Or maybe it's central banks buying gold just before printing, but that also seems like a stretch and doesn't explain why bitcoin would be so slow to move if we're so clever and know this is happening)

2026-01-23 08:43:41 UTC

Cypherpunks spent decades trying to create a state-free money. Price pumps were never part of the motivation - indeed the most likely personal outcome was prosecution. Think what can be achieved now with millions of real users and 000s of ideological Devs building on the SAME network, regardless of price action.

Maybe one 4D chess move here is Trump presenting a really difficult choice for Europe in exchange for continued NATO and Ukraine support, such that he can say they're not actually serious about their defence if they won't give the US Greenland. Then he can more easily withdraw and say "you defend yourselves if you won't let us protect the region with Greenland".

2026-01-20 07:56:37 UTC

It's weird that Trump is pushing for Greenland in such an obviously hostile way - the global reaction seems really predictable.
If the US really wanted it wouldn't there have been a more strategic approach? E.g. build some diplomatic support, endear themselves to Greenlanders etc.
I think Trump gets too much credit for being a 4D chess player (although not enough credit from some), but this situation does make me think the spectacle is either leverage or a distraction.
Or has Trump actually genuinely lost his mind and accidentally turning all America's allies against it?

I've always liked Farage (since his MEP days), but wish Reform were a little more Libertarian. He's a big spender, likes nationalisation, and the party is a bit of a personality cult.
Sadly, it does look like the Tories are finished. I wished they'd recommitted to proper conservative policies and rhetoric but Kemi (she's a good egg) did some dumb stuff like oppose Labour's Winter fuel allowance cut.
Only way forward for Tories would be to radically commit to pro working age policy and Austrian economics. They would still be out of contention for this decade, but at least would have a chance of ultimately being right and leading the UK back to free market economics.

1. If they become forced sellers because they're not true hodlers but just grifters trying to get a management fee while the going is good. It's fiat behaviour that gets associated with Bitcoin.
2. All these companies are probably storing their Bitcoin with the same custodian, and they're all much more vulnerable to regulatory risk than an individual. This is added centralisation risk.
You can't stop it, but these are fair criticisms.
Danny wasn't pushing back on businesses using Bitcoin as a tool - i.e. better cash vehicle while they create value in their chosen markets. He was pushing back against companies doing this as their only activity. Saylor was being a dick - he's smart enought to know the nuanced difference.

2026-01-13 12:52:12 UTC

- reply

Saylor seems to be intentionally missing your point Danny. He's saying, all else equal, it's better for a company to have vs. not have Bitcoin (fine, agreed). But your challenge was whether it makes sense that there are so many companies who's only business model is to buy bitcoin when people could just be acquiring actual Bitcoin themselves, and those companies can't get the same leverage/liquidity as MSTR. Totally fair question he could have just tried to answer since, if anything, it could be interpreted as a compliment to Strategy.

The paradox of the US freeing (TBC) Venezuela by force reminds me of Napoleon's early military conquests.
He replaced the leadership of many Italian city states, took a large fee from them, but also implemented more representative leaders and more progressive laws. It was a catalyst for Western democracy which we celebrate even if we condemn Napoleon by modern standards for much of his approach.
He was hated by the elites of other nations, even while they were also obsessed with him. Ultimately, European monarchs and the British conspired to defeat him, but we still enjoy his legacy today.

Lots of Americans here like to deride the UK and condescend to those who live here. Bro, where the fuck would (and could) we go that's more free?
Also, current UK government is near guaranteed to lose the next election, and current front runners (and their likely coalition partner) are highly critical of the free speech curbs.
I'm originally from South Africa, and yes you can pay with Bitcoin in more places, but they have a pretty long list of their own issues. UAE is a dictatorship. El Salvador they throw you in prison for having tattoos. You can't easily move to the USA. Europe is collapsing. Could move to Switzerland but I don't speak the language, and probably couldn't easily move there.
UK is actually an incredible country, but with problems. London is a great city (but yes also has some crime and a shit mayor). Staying and voting harder (plus stacking Bitcoin) actually a decent choice.

I bet you if Piers was interviewing a BLM activist he'd end up making some of Fuentes's arguments just to have a chance to be condescending.
I liked your article in principle, but the generational framing seems irrelevant to me. You seem to be saying that Gen Z are vulnerable to certain views because they're vengeful or something. I'm a millennial and found Fuentes far more cogent than Morgan because he argued better and spoke truthfully. Caveat: I've never heard of Fuentes before this, and could only tolerate Morgan for about 30 min so didn't watch the whole thing.
