100 sats \ 9 replies \ @ek 2 Dec \ parent \ on: Bitcoin is a Lie - Mike Brock bitcoin

Yeah, the beginning is already a great example of just reading into something what you want to read:

Bitcoin is for enemies. They say this. Seriously. Look it up.

It's an article for a specific audience. I feel bad for the little attention I paid to it. Even though I guess we should be aware of how bitcoin is portrayed by our "enemies."

At least his bio is funny:

Ex-tech exec, now a reluctant Cassandra. Deeply unfashionable. Penning dispatches from democracy's peril at notesfromthecircus.com. 2+2=4, even when power insists otherwise.

And it reminded me why I don't describe myself in my bio or here. I’ve read so many bios I can’t take seriously that I feel like, no matter what I write in my own bio, other people will feel the same about it.

I’m probably overthinking it, but that is definitely me.

I remember Jack D saying on Nostr in the early days that the bigger the bio, the less trustworthy the npub, or something along those lines

Funny because Brock worked for Jack D. Actually was in charge of adding Bitcoin purchasing to Cash App IIRC.

you aren't overthinking. I've always liked your about page.

bios are hard. The temptation to be self-important is real.
