It's sad really. Because he came up with a glorious model. And even from the beginning of it all he said all models break.
All he needs to do is shrug is shoulders and say "Well damn, the model has broken earlier than I thought it would." And THEN get about the business of trying to explain why, or adjusting the model somehow to possibly be accurate into the future. Not move the goalposts, but openly try to improve the model... And the whole world would listen to him because he earned some serious credibility with S2F.
He could even do less than that, like say "Yeah my 100k by December" stand was a foolish and capricious move that actually ignores the way this model works (because it is and was)" And then point out that the model has still not been invalidated entirely.
Basically what he is doing now, but with humility rather than the whole "Well here is what I really always meant" line which 7 year olds can see.
It reminds me of the constant gaslighting, redefinition, and post moving that corrupt politicians do.
Or people like CSW or Roger Ver: "BCash will take over and put an end to Bitcoin!" BSV will take over and put an end to Bitcoin!" "Follow me, listen to me! I know something that you don't!"
I mean srsly, aren't we over listening to, or even following, these types by now?
Do people really need to follow false prophets in order to invest in and be bullish on something? Bitcoin is self-explanatory, it needs no leaders or prophets. Either you get it, or you don't.
