University President Carter holding up a "bitcoin" in the part of the speech about the quarters
Ayahuasca Intelligence
Imagine going to university only to learn that the president falls for grifters that 10 year olds can detect.
So about that.
Ted Carter is apparently on the board of an bitcoin mining company called TeraWulf.
"my dad's ~~a better grifter~~ stronger than your dad!!!!"
I often thing back about the smug coiners mocking the TSA agent looking for physical bitcoins on a pro bitcoin person, when they do stuff like put bitcoin data in actual coins or make bitcoin coins.
(It does amaze me a little bit none of them seem to got that this was actually bad for bitcoin, as this just shows how hard to understand it all is for normal people, and them doing it themselves is just confusing more people intentionally)
