I'm starting to see Bitcoin adverts pop up in some European cities. Who do you think is financing these marketing campaigns?
What do you think the ultimate tax treatment of BTC will be?
Lyn Alden, author of "Broken Money," which appears on most "must read" Bitcoin book lists. Born a man and transitioned to a woman, I believe.
S/he has been referred to in this thread as the "smart tranny," which made me chuckle, but I guess it's not very nice.
It’s going to vary drastically
unrealized cap gains coming to Australia...clown world
I will believe that when I see it. If they ever tried to pull that here (USA) people would revolt. As we should.
And just like that, I've unsubscribed and might liquidate my crypto holdings. When something is supported by somebody who literally denies fundamental base reality (gender), then logically it follows that the thing being supported is probably backwards too. Dang it. "It" really seemed to make some good points. But I was a little interested in listening to its previous work life: it had worked a government engineering job, sucking away that never ending pay check and putting it all into investment. Is it any surprise that somebody who did nothing for their career yet was given a constant firehose of cash (this is most government jobs) was able to make some smart investments? Probably spent most of the work day doing market research and not actual work.
A real shame. But I will take no advice from a tranny. The more you know
Its a lot better than other government employees who use the idle work time to post on Instagram or Facebook. Yes some people get privileges in life but even amongst those who are bestowed with privileges some squander the opportunity and others use it wisely.
So if a tranny posts a youtube video about how much they love eating steak and how great steak is will you stop eating steak also? Do you see how silly it is.
You should always do your own research and never base your opinions 100% based on what somebody else says. Forget about Lyn Alden. Do your own research on Bitcoin and decide if its worthwhile or not.
There are lots of people like this. Plus, if you're in "crypto" you're doing it wrong anyway. BTC, son.
Seriously, enough is enough, and we should have nipped this in the bud many posts ago. Lyn doesn't talk about any of that and obviously doesn't care to. It's not political for her, if true, so just listen to her opinions, and evaluate them - or don't. Let's stop with this leftist thinking of association/disassociation.
Fair point. I am not saying that my conclusions regarding crypto are going out with the tranny bathwater, but that given that a tranny supports it, I need to re-evaluate those conclusions. Look, most trans people probably suggest the opposite of eating steak (a stereotype certainly, but one that is likely true) and are probably vegan or something. Like most of their opinions are cartoonishly backwards. Thus, time to re-evaluate my stance on crypto, now that I know one of bitcoins biggest shills is a freak living in a backwards reality.
I agree, it is really hard to trust a troon - definitely dyor.
I occasionally watch bitcoin critics on youtube - trying to see how I'm wrong. Not all of them are brain dead (Schiff, for example) but many of them have the same arguments that I once had, until I studied and gained a deeper understanding of money.
Also we don't even know for sure that Lyn Alden is a transsexual. It appears very likely but you cannot be 100% sure. There are occasionally women who have somewhat masculine voices and facial features.
Lyn Alden is quite obviously a tranny. Normal women are not interested in the economics of Bitcoin to begin with, and they certainly aren't motivated enough to study the topic in depth and then write a book about it. That is the behavior of an obsessive autist, and the autist/tranny spectrum is well-established at this point.
That being said, just because a tranny promotes Bitcoin does not necessarily discredit it. But personally it would raise some red flags. When you look at the most vocal and visible proponents of Bitcoin, a majority of them are questionable characters in one way or another. Most just strike me as run-of-the-mill grifters, but a sizable minority seem genuinely delusional and out of touch with reality. I mean, one must obviously question the fundamental judgment of a person who cannot properly discern their own sex. If you can't get something so basic correct, why should I trust your judgment on far more complex topics?

Grifters are involved in alts to an extent, but not really in BTC. Either way, BTC stands or falls on its own. Why are we again derailing the thread after I already pointed out how attacking people is irrelevant?
What's more likely, you don't like someone because the person talks about Broken Money and is a proponent of BTC, or the person is wrong because of something that has nothing to do with BTC? Obviously the emotion is all on you here, and it's another admission of an inability to argue that actual points.
