Still doesnβt get it

Ngl his 3 point makes sense. Obviously some high profile politicians stacked before giving the green light
Agreed. However we had the opportunity to stack even before they did.
βItβs all the regulators fault!β
What a faggot
No need to read his book about how crypto is for bad people and stuff. The real brains at Harvard have been hovering up IBIT.
He's not making excuses. He is acknowledging his wrongness while shifting goalposts.
And he still doesnβt get it
He is correct actually. Main use of Bitcoin is inflation tax evasion.

Be patient with him: heβs already taken the first important step - admitting he was wrong. Now heβs digging into why, and what this Bitcoin thing is all about, realizing he formed an opinion about it too hastily.

With most people, I would agree with your sympathetic approach

I don't think that's true. It's possible to simultaneously be pro-Bitcoin and also believe in Keynes's approach for the pre-Bitcoin world
There will be multiple fiat currencies in use, alongside Bitcoin, for multiple decades to come and it's not clear how best to manage that.

Rogoff wasn't particularly Keynesian. In fact, his approach was anti-Keynesian during the crisis after 2008

What if Reinhart and Rogoff had adopted a more Keynesian perspective?
In two very influential papers, Reinhart and Rogoff (2010) and Reinhart et al. (2012) investigated the relationship between public debt and economi...

He's talking about Monero without knowing it. Bitcoin is just an extension of TradFi these days.
Wait till Monero wakes up and destroys their house of cards.
