  1. Sorry but it's hard to watch these because you're so poorly informed on so many matters. Of course we have global flu seasons that are particularly bad, because the flu moves around exactly the same way covid does. We also had the Spanish flu that was 20 times worse than this and guess what... No lockdowns.

  2. "This is absolutely true" - No, lol, it's not. It's not not how "Brits" see you, it's how "middle class metropolitan liberal twat Brits" see you. And you constantly talk about "us Europeans" as if British people all think like you, when again, we voted to leave the EU because we didn't fit in. Again, I bet if your opinion on what "us Brits think" wa based on the people you know, you would have thought we overwhelmingly voted Remain, but we didn't did we? Maybe realize that the subsection of Britain you know is not representative of the whole country.

  3. You are so disingenuous. Accusing right wingers trying to defend millennia old traditions and values of being the ones who are "trying to stoke a culture war" because they won't bow to leftists trying to demolish our civilization is the most preposterous gaslighting.

  4.  @thesolitaryadventurer  Yeah I mean manipulation is possible while there's lot of liquid supply, but at some point as you say fundamentals take over, and if exchanges are being emptied due to real adoption, futures will not be able to keep the price down.

  5. 31:25 This is cool.

  6. 55:50 The whole ESG thing is one giant grift/virtue signal putting money into the pockets of an extractive and non-productive segment of the elite while they posture about their moral superiority. I'm also no kind of sjw but it's amazing to see the arrogance of these people who benefit from a stable power grid and stable financial system in the developed world trying to deny it to the rest of the world. The advantages of having a stable electrical grid, even if powered entirely by coal, vastly outweighs any climate change it would cause, and the benefits of having a stable financial system, vastly outweighs any climate change caused by bitcoin mining.

  7. yeah, democracy would have to at least be a lot more honest with bitcoin, if you want more government spending, taxes have to rise, if you want tax cuts, government spending has to fall etc.

  8. Ask all the English girls who have been raped and abused about the "good" that has come from letting in refugees from the Middle East over the last decade.

  9. "fossil fuels have failed miserably to bring people energy" - and that's they moment I realized this guy is a clown.

  10. Russia ddin't cut Germany off from gas, Germany cut itself off by joining an all out economic war against Russia. The bad decision wasn't relying on Russian gas, it was joining America's neocon crusade to destroy Russia.

  11. The thing is,, saying other cryptos are just a testbed and then they can be built as a bitcoin layer if they work, ignores the fact that there is no real difference between an altcoins and a bitcoin layer, they're all just separate blockchains, since despite the PR from projects supposedly "building on bitcoin", Bitcoin's design makes it impractical to actually benefit from it's security etc. So really, why not just be happy with bitcoin being the base layer for all of crypto?

  12. "when I brought that woman onto the board it wasn't merit based" - right, so you actually perpetuated injustice against more qualified men in the name of equality of outcome. You're a leftist lol. (and I'm British, you aren't "centre-right" here either)

  13.  @PeterMcCormackShow  You admitted she wasn't qualified to be on the board, ergo, you held her to a lower standard than the men, I.e. gender discrimination.

  14. Interesting he mentions a "Eurasian commodity block" being what America's "adversaries" want. Halford Mackinders World Island theory posited that the "Rimlands" (i.e. maritime powers like Britain and America) could only maintain their global dominance by undermining any unification of the "World Island" (i.e. Eurasia). Funny that we posit ourselves as the good guys when in fact all we do is try to wreck everywhere else to maintain our own global hegemony.

  15. "Let's meet in the middle with people who hate our entire civilization and want to destroy it" - midwit shitlibs.

  16. "There's a difference between intellectual honesty and being open minded" yeah and this guy's neither. What a dick. When someone wants to disagree with you before you've even finished making your argument, you know they aren't really listening. Lile when the specific point was made about share tokens and he had no argument, so he just started spouting off about how Bitcoin is the best. I respect the fact that McCormack is a maxi who is still open to rational argument, people like this guy aren't convincing anyone.

  17. The idea that Western liberal democracies are prosperous because of large states and government control is a reversal of cause and effect.

  18. You and your lower middle class centre left normie friends from Bedford do not speak for Britain. It's embarrassing when you try to present your views to Americans as "what all us British people think" No, you're just speaking for your own demographic, not Britain as a whole.

  19. Lol, the pushback was totally rewarded.

  20. All Satoshi's idiomatic language use suggests he was British, so I don't agree Bitcoin is a "very American idea".

  21. "we don't have left v right media in the UK, there's no right wing or left wing media, that's why we don't have so much divisiveness" - no lol, it's just that the left have total control of the broadcast media, and when it comes to newspapers almost all of our newspapers are partisan. There's no divisiveness because the real right has been almost entirely destroyed.

  22. Yeah I mean all fixed rate mortgages in the UK are time limited and will eventually become variable. I think the main reason is because the government here doesn't backstop them in the way the US does with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

  23. It's a shame you're a maxi, Lebaonon needs a lot more than what just Bitcoin can provide. Decentralized physical infrastructure like Helium mobile, Decentralized power, smart contract platforms like Ethereum and Solana for government transparency and preventing corruption, stablecoins, decentralized finance etc etc. But your position is "MUH BITCOIN BAGS, it's ok for everything else except Bitcoin to be centralized."

  24. Lol "Putin money". What a shill. The same F1 that races in Saudi Arabia in a week, as they continue their military campaign that has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemeni children. Amazing what totally hypocritical drones most people are.

  25. Your "us British people are all leftists" shit is such cringe. Also "Europe" isn't a country, Brexit happened, get over it. Also your understanding of both British and American politics is hilariously out of date.

  26. He's right, democracy is the problem, manipulative narcissists doing the bidding of a high time preference low IQ mob that is itself led around by the nose by a manipulative media controlled by a sociopathic invisible oligarchy.

  27. 31:38 Ah, so Cuba had a right to have Soviet missiles stationed there, right? Since great powers arent' the only ones whose sovereignty matters, eh?

  28. Civil Rights protests were totally astroturfed, Civil Rights was a federal government initiative forced on Southern states from above, with left wing activists bussed in from New York, federal troops pointed guns at white students protesting integration (the real protesters). Protest movements are a way those in charge intimidate society into going along with their agenda by creating a fake view of public opinion. REAL protests against the agenda are smashed. There's a reason Extinction Rebellion are allowed to glue themselves to roads, block Oxford Street for days etc, while "far right" groups protesting against open borders get their faces smashed in by riot police within 10 minutes of showing up. BLM was allowed to burn cities unopposed, while Truckers in Canada were shut down within days.

  29. When Eric says "can we shift the elite culture?" I'd say it has to be from first principles. The right has accepted fundamental leftist principles as morally authoritative, so it can never really win the argument until it disclaims them.
