I love when critics like Ray Dalio have bitcoin in their frontal lobe 24/7, and are forced to continue to defend their position against it.

Must be so frustrating for him...salty.

Maybe I am naive but I am taking him at his word. I think he is wondering... wait, what is going on here? Am I missing something and asking for perspective. Otherwise why would he offer such a large target to all the drooling bitcoin twitter carnivore chorus?

I would assume he might be contacted by some people in his own sphere who are starting to pile in with some perspectives he will respect.

This could be the start of the orange pill process for him.

Or, maybe he's just salty.

Eh, I have my doubts. He's asking the question just like J.K. Rowling asked the same question. I.E. in a very condescending, simplistic way as if they already know what Bitcoin is about, but just want to pontificate. Such is how narcissists talk to the masses. Because the masses can't possibly know something that they don't, right?

IMHO, you can't truly know what Bitcoin is until:

1. You fully understand what problem Bitcoin is trying to solve.

--and--

2. How truly fucking DIRE and SERIOUS that problem is.

If you don't understand these two things, then even if you kind of understand Bitcoin at a quasi tech-level, you will still never truly "get it".
