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.

Satoshi may or may not be a CIA asset, but it doesn't really matter because of the idea of crypto-anarchism is now more understood and easier to practice with all sorts of tools available now.
what if the internet was invented by government goons? correct, it just doesn't matter
Not sure if you watched the video but that is pretty much the conclusion that Mark Yusko came to that even if the CIA or NSA did invent Bitcoin it doesn't matter anyway because they cannot control it and the cat is out of the bag.
Wrong again. It absolutely does matter. The internet (and BTC) were created by our jewish owned government as a way to usher in a cashless society and turn everyone into materialistic atheists who voluntarily give up their privacy in pursuit of attention and money. How's it feel to be on the public bitcoin ledger? Just look what the internet and "smart" phones have done to humanity and our young people (especially women). They have destroyed everything about America that was once good by intentionally unleashing military grade super computers into the hands of children. There is a reason why today's youth are becoming obsessed with the pre-internet/cellphone eras of the 1980's and 90's. In fact, I make my living off of selling low-tech nostalgia to Gen Z because Gen Z is instinctually beginning to understand that the internet is the work of the devil.
Not only this, the internet coupled with robotics and AI will be humanity's downfall. So thanks for playing. You and others here like Blade Runner and Australia Sucks and It Is My Time are neck deep in The Matrix. You are addicted to gambling and fear porn (the fear of being broke) and must be plugged directly into The Cashless Society Matrix in order to count your shekles and be "entertained." You think that you are part of the solution, but you are actually part of the problem. But hey, at least you got yours.
The world is cooked either way. At this point its baked in. All you can do is make enough money to at least have financial freedom so you are better placed and more mobile to deal with whatever the future holds.
