I have a ton of notes about Bret, as I’ve been a Darkhorse fan since the early days, like this one. He has some combo of ego with circular reasoning, sunk cost, overdeveloped contrarianism, zero study of Austrian economics, and more.
Bret talked with this bcasher Patterson a bunch of times. Bret and many others have whole brands based on complaining about losing. They don’t know how to win, aka adopt and promote Bitcoin. Bret’s ego won’t let him accept Bitcoin as a solution that he is “late” to. He thinks he’s so smart that, if Bitcoin were so great, he would’ve figured it out by now…but he hasn’t, therefore there must be a problem with Bitcoin, not a problem with himself. He’s also never had a Bitcoiner on his podcast.
