yes yes. many of us think btc is a scam, others think its revolutionary. taleb is smart.

more importantly, what in the _fuck_ is this article from Bloomberg?

1) it is literally more ad than article

2) most of the article is a grammatical rephrasing of the tweet with no attempt to value add.

3) the only non-tweet, non-ad sentence is a vague reference to an unrelated opinion taleb had about btc

4) the citation for 3? another tweet

i dont know how to finish this comment. what a sign of the times. journalism bankruptcy.



>Taleb is smart

Even though he is smart at risk management, can he be an IYI (intelligent yet idiot) when discussing another topic?

I personally think everyone is an IYI in some sphere.


I'll finish the comment for you: The medium is the message.

Certain domains I just don't click the link anymore.

Fool me once, and all that.


I tried reading a Forbes article earlier today, and gave up within 5 seconds after the third popup prevented me from reading the article.


Consider yourself lucky, soon they will be charging for pop ups
