Can you elaborate on Lyn Alden? I don’t know enough to comment on her expertise, but I do know that dismissing someone as being trivially wrong on basically any topic is often a sign of not understanding the person’s arguments.

I'd be really surprised if you got a response. Surprise me articbull!

What's to say? Lyn is a zealot and will go to any lengths to justify her positions. She's clearly intelligent and completely uninterested in objectivity. She's like if Saylor wasn't completely vacant and instead of posting "MORTGAGE YOUR HOUSE TO BUY BITCOIN" at the top of the market you get 15 page diatribes about why Bitcoin energy usage doesn't matter because "the Fed" and "censorship" and "hard to confiscate" etc etc. None of which has a single thing to do with energy usage. It’s just pages of gish gallop.

If you want to listen to someone interesting who isn't just performing mental cartwheels to defend the indefensible, listen to Boaz Sobrado, Mario Gibney from Ledn, Lily Francus, Josh Cincinnati, etc.

Lyn is just rewarmed long-form talking points from r/Bitcoin presented uncritically. There’s interesting people in the space but Lyn is more of a millennial William DeVane shilling gold on Fox at 2am with a substack.

Before he edited and went on a rant, he just said this:

"What's to say? Lyn is a zealot and will go to any lengths to justify her positions. She's clearly intelligent and completely uninterested in objectivity. She's like if Saylor were intelligent."

I don't think "he hit enter by accident" is quite the gotcha you seem to think it is.

You found my criticisms insufficient, so I gave you a long-form version along with a list of folks who actually do have something interesting to say in the space. Then it was too verbose.

I suppose there’s no pleasing some folks huh.

Now that we've had a few threads together, I have a whole email box full of you hitting enter "by accident."

Oooh got me again.
