I had to stop when they claimed gold rushers forced indigenous people off thier land. I just can't with this stupidity. Why do they have to force this propaganda into everything?

I don't agree with all of his positions, but I did find the video interesting.

A lot of the claims made are conjecture at best and when the claims start being proven false it's time to acknowledge that none of the claims are credible.

It was supposed to be nearly free to transact. That was a lie.

It was supposed to be secure. That was a lie.

It was supposed to be untraceable. That was a lie.

One would be far wiser to "invest" in WOW currency.

To be honest, Bitcoin's technology got sidetracked and since Satoshi himself doesn't seem to be around anymore, it's not hard to realize that BTC can and therefore will get co-opted by big money and power.

I like Monero and Ethereum better, not to mention Chainlink and GRIN.

A thousand different coins is nothing more than a thousand scam artist all claiming they are different. Oh, of course the other guy lied to you, but not me!

Why is it that all the people vouching for and proclaiming the virtues of all these other coins were doing the exact same for bitcoin before the scamming was revealed?
