Yanis Varoufakis has been explaining why Bitcoin can't work since 2009 while people who can't spell "blockchain" got rich buying it. "It's a brilliant answer to a problem we haven't discovered yet" he said in 2009. The problem was him. Smart people paralyzed by theory while stupid people solved...

It's over. In this video, Abroad in Japan flat out admits that he had been living in Japan for 10 years and does not speak Japanese. So after defaming a friend of mine (Oriental Pearl) and talking about how he is so in tune with the Japanese because he is a local, the whole time, his Japanese was so bad that he could not even understand the local news. This smug asshat had the audacity to call Oriental Pearl a lying grifter who is misrepresenting Japan when he doesn't even know enough Japanese to fact check her. Oh and then he cut the audio out of a moment where she was laughing uncomfortably because she was being sexually harassed and then pasted it with different footage to make it look like she was laughing at the homeless. By the way, this moment where he admits his Japanese is beginner level is at the end of the video where less than half the viewers will see it. You know, so that way he can go around masquerading as someone who can handle complex conversations with Ken Watanabe or Hyde followed by not showing the parts where he is having someone translate for him because he can't understand what they are saying. This guy is a massive fraud and I know he is intentionally hiding it because everyone and their grandmother thought he was fluent until I said something on my YouTube channel. Now he will use this term "conversationally fluent" which I think a lot of people believe means he can handle basically any conversation that you would see in your normal life. I think he purposefully says that to misrepresent his actual skill level to people who don't know anything about language learning. He even openly admitted in this video that he regularly misrepresents how long he has been in Japan so that people won't judge him negatively for not learning their language. S when Chris says "conversationally fluent" what he actually means is he has the language ability of a 7 year. Sure he'll understand you when you talk but if you say ANYTHING complex, he can't understand you. Also when he says, "I'm conversationally fluent" he is saying that he is illiterate. You know all of those videos of Kai Cenat humbling himself to become a better reader? That level of reading is vastly better than Chris's reading level in Japanese. I mean this absolute liar while go out there and pretend he is prepping for the JLPT N1 like he is a master of Japanese yet 2 years after that video comes out, here he is saying his Japanese is ass and he's basically a beginner and hasn't studied in 8 years. Then this year he says, "Actually I completely failed the JLPT N2 when I tried to take it 11 years ago but it was because someone's cellphone went off in the middle of the test. That magically made me forget all of my Japanese." Well, it's not like he's the only one in that friend group who can't speak Japanese. His terrorist supporting friend Connor can't speak Japanese either. Neither can Garnt. After 6 years. None of these people in this group outside of Joey, who grew up speaking the language, actually respects Japan enough to do the most basic thing which is learn the language. Yet they'll be like, "Yeah, I wouldn't go back to England. That place sucks."

BITCOIN IS FOR BOOMERS Bitcoin is the Facebook of speculative assets. Think about that for a second. Your kids aren't on Facebook. Neither is anyone under 30. They're on Instagram, TikTok, whatever comes next. Same thing is happening with Bitcoin. The narrative was simple: digital gold. A hedge against fiat currency debasement. Store of value in an uncertain world. So what happened last year? Gold doubled. Silver tripled. The NASDAQ ripped higher. Bitcoin? Went nowhere. If you're rooting for risk assets to rally, Bitcoin should work. But it didn't. If you're rooting for gold to rally, Bitcoin should work. But it didn't. The volatility that made Bitcoin exciting is gone. And when there's no juice, speculators leave. I had a young engineer in one of my Twitter Spaces a few weeks ago. Smart kid. He told me he sold his Bitcoin and bought gold and silver. Then he said he "totally disagreed" with my theory that declining Bitcoin volatility is bearish. I asked him why he sold. "It wasn't moving enough." He literally proved my point without knowing it. Meanwhile, the real action is elsewhere: FanDuel. DraftKings. Zero-DTE options. Prediction markets. Why wait around for a 10% Bitcoin move when you can get instant gratification betting on tonight's game or buying options that expire in 4 hours? The democratization of speculation created better dopamine delivery systems. Bitcoin was the gateway drug. Now there's harder stuff. And the hodlers who've been there since the early days are finally SELLING. Supply is coming out. The diamond hands are becoming paper hands. It's not my job to tell you what to think. But when an asset class trades inversely to its own thesis, I pay attention. When the volatility disappears and speculators find faster games, I pay attention. When the only people left defending it are the ones who bought at higher prices, I pay attention. Bitcoin isn't dead. The internet didn't die after 2000 either. But if you bought Cisco at the peak, you're still underwater 25 years later. The technology can survive... Your portfolio might not.

Marc Andreessen: Elon inspires incredible loyalty from his employees because they know he'll just sit all night with them to fix a problem. “Elon actually delegates almost everything. He's involved in the thing that is the biggest problem right now until that thing is fixed. And then, he doesn't have to be involved in it anymore, he can go focus on the next thing that's the biggest problem for that company right now. The job number one is to remove that bottleneck and get everything flowing again. I think Elon basically has universalized that concept and he basically looks at every company like it's some sort of conceptual assembly line. When he identifies the bottleneck, he goes and he talks to the line engineers who understand the technical nature of the bottleneck. If it's people on a manufacturing line, he's talking to people directly on the line. Or if that's people in a software development group, he's talking to the people actually writing the code. He's not asking the VP of Engineering to ask the Director of Engineering to ask the manager to ask the individual contributor to write a report that's to be reviewed in three weeks. He doesn't do that. He would throw them all out of the window. There's just no way he would do that. He goes and personally finds the engineer who actually has the knowledge about the thing, and then he sits in the room with that engineer and fixes the problem with them. This is why he inspires such incredible loyalty, especially from the technical people who he works with. They're like, wow, if I'm up against a problem I don't know how to solve, freaking Elon Musk is going to show up in his Gulfstream jet, and he's going to sit with me overnight in front of the keyboard or in front of the manufacturing line, and he's going to help me figure this out.” Interview of Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 by Chris Williamson on Youtube, December 14, 2024
