Look, I’m sorry that lots of bitcoiners learned about how the network works from Saylor interviews and really bad podcasts
But narratives and metaphors always break when they get confronted by the technical reality
My podcast can definitely improve your understanding - not because I am some kind of my expert, but because I mostly interview guys who are much smarter than me
Learn from multiple sources, listen to conflicting opinions, constantly search for the truth, and build your own individual views to the point where other people follow you and consider you a valuable contributor.
This is how you win. This was always the way. There has never been and never will be a yellow brick road in this world: not even Bitcoin can provide certainties and guarantees.
To a great extent, Bitcoin’s success has been a self-fulfilling prophecy: people put a lot of effort into making predictions come true. But it doesn’t mean that it will always work this way, as new challenges always emerge.
Constantly ask questions and seek new information to update your understanding. Otherwise, you become someone’s useful idiot – just a follower, or a “pleb”. And I want all of you to become so much more!
