Could be just another kind of chart buddy breaker-upper?


I have quite a bit of troubles with that characterization regarding a supposed "great" response.

Surely, Jack is a smart guy and has a lot of great perspectives in regards to both why bitcoin is a great solution and the various technical/mechanical aspects that allow bitcoin to serve the El Salvadorean people and people overall, but his level of emotionalism is really getting in the way of various positive messages that he could communicate way better and really causes him to appear like a clown rather than someone to be taken seriously.

It seems that I had already heard him say that there had been people attempting to advise him on his ways of presenting, but he wants to be more raw and more real.. and sure maybe it is all fine and dandy to be raw and real when dealing with your homies, but if your audience is the world (such as an audience that Fox News would draw), then there would be a lot of advantages to attempt to present without so many emotions.

Furthermore, there are a lot of guys that proclaim that they are willing to "die on this hill" or go down with the ship, and so sure, there can be some value in martyr status, but I still have some problems to inviting martyr status rather than approaching the confrontational matters more practically.  Sure, go ahead and throw in a few zingers here and there, no problem, but personally it seems way better, to me, if he had tried to present a bit less emotionally, a bit more emphasis on the technicalities and practicalities and staying out of governance and politics.. Maybe he wants to run for office later, but at this point, he's a technician and a person of application and sure a person that wants to encourage and spread bitcoin/lightning network / strike adoption.
