Repeat after me:
“It’s going up forever Laura”

A new meme is born.
My body is ready.

I think that Laura needs to change her journalistic philosophy.

She has been covering bitcoin and various shitcoins that she deems as "crypto currencies" for several years, and she has been a pretty BIG name in the bitcoin space.. but she has maintained a journalistic integrity position for quite a while in terms of NOT investing in bitcoin, and sooner or later, she better get some fucking clues about failing/refusing to protect her own lil selfie by continuing to fail/refuse to establish a reasonable stake in bitcoin....

So, I am not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I really believe that she is short changing herself.. and in that regard, she has been becoming more and more knowledgeable about bitcoin, and she even seems to have been becoming more and more knowledgeable over the years in order to unwillingly kind of convert into a bitcoin maximalist.. and yeah, she might not admit it and yeah, she might not frame the matter in a way that I am framing it because wanting to keep the impression of journalistic integrity and neutrality and all that bullshit... but I do feel a bit bad for her in regards to short-changing herself financially.

By the way, I did listen to that podcast between Laura Shin and Saylor in the end of January when it came out (here's a link if peeps want to listen to the whole 1 hour and a half thingie), and sure Saylor did end up lecturing Laura a bit in regards to some of her seemingly trader rather than HODLer thinking.. so there were some seemingly hostile times during that interview, and maybe it did kind of show that Laura might have been under-appreciating the power and importance of bitcoin through her ongoing attempts at journalistic objectivism.

Another thing, people might consider me to be a bit crazy in my assertion too that I consider myself to be quite open minded and objective about bitcoin too.. so fuck that kind of thinking that you cannot be sufficiently objective and be invested in something at the same time... but I will admit that over the years I have become more and more convicted about bitcoin, and I am going to deny that I am lacking in objectivity because of the size of my investment.. but whatever, I still kind of understand that perspective regarding having some detachment to see some matters in a different way, but I would also assert that the different way of seeing matters does not necessarily cause the person to be more informed about the world or that particular matter, even if they are seeing the matter from a different (non-invested) perspective.

Ironically I was just listening to that podcast today whilst playing a game.

Laura never seemed convinced or simply doesn't understand Bitcoin.
She eventually stopped with the confrontation but her fake sort of laugh going along with whatever Saylor said even if she does not believe it got a bit irritating. I did think "what a dumbo" at times.

There were a few interesting questions having said that.
