Read_652 - Setting the Record Straight [Nic Carter]

Show Notes

"I’m going to clear things up here because most of the people piling on were deeply confused about me, my firm, and what I do. And yes, I’m including some choice words for the self-described Bitcoin maximalists. You asked for it. You got it." - Nic Carter
Nic takes to his medium page to denounce Bitcoin maximalism after getting bombarded over an investment by his VC fund. Was there a grain of truth to the criticism, is Bitcoin maximalism to blame, and what's the difference between the Bitcoin maximalist ideal, and self proclaimed Bitcoin maximalists? For a fair shake on the topic after covering Rizzo's recent article, let's hear Nic's take on maximalism.

The fight that lies ahead is the separation of Money and State. Bitcoin is the best hope we have for achieving this end.

I agree Nic pulled a bit of a Breedlove holier than thee stunt and clearly the mob went a bit too far but labelling outliers as the consensus is just silly. his in a tough spot his fund raised a bunch of capital and to justify his fees he has to dilute into shitcoin land it’s all a fiat game and good for him making money but we don’t need half arsed bitcoiners we need the center to be strong to not dilute and to fight for the network at all costs the tests only get bigger with time

haha he is referring to the beefsteak dinner events hosted by Awayslice. it’s a thing where tons of bitcoiners get together and hang out and they serve various meats over the period of a couple of hours while we all hang out, drink, watch a performer, etc. he follows conferences a lot and does them as satellite events. it’s really awesome 👏🏻
