Taleb is mostly wrong on everything the last decade. Anyone actually intelligent would see him as a con.

this is almost correct.

probably correct that they censor based on conservative opinions. not correct that right leaning americans are conservative. all conservatives are right leaning tho. not the other way around.

owning digital currencies is not even remotely "one of the worst things a startup can do with their money". it is not an investment. it is not productive. but it is not a bad idea.

> The point is when we're looking at comparative energy use, you can't just point at the whole banking system and compare it to Bitcoin, as if it's an apples to apples comparison, because the banking system provides an embarassment of services that Bitcoin does not.

this is true. bitcoin should be compared with everything required to run or "back" USD. which is a lot more energy use than most states on this planet

> The number of times such an activity would be useful to me is zero.

what about sending money to someone far away? ever tried? or just living in a bubble using a single fiat to buy coffee

your limited use argument is tiresome. you can not send money to anyone you want with fiat. most can not send money to you. you are not free
