The need for creative destruction in the bitcoin podcast "industry" is fucking real.
Once a person who is not involved in the production of functional things is too influential over the public opinion, there becomes a growing bifrication between reality and perception of the industry. This could be said of any industry. If there were a bunch of likeable dudes making content about construction, but who had zero experience building things, listeners will just generally think that the guy talking at them twice a week about the need for more shear walls in a 10 story wood frame building and the necessity of fire caulking the 3 million 7/8 holes in top and bottom plates has any applicable problem solving experience and has an opinion that should hold any weight.
You can talk to the people who build things all you want, but until you start your own PoW, you are not a God damn expert.
I have no hate for the guy, but ck (npub1cf3…x7gk) is the perfect example of this. The bitcoin magazine hardline take on ordinals/brc 20 stuff just seems like an attempt to influence the ignorant into thinking that builders should avoid fixing structural issues.
Saying that an unintended consequence of a change is what it is and now we just have to live with it, is out of step with industry, and with reality. If a building is swaying in a way that could be problematic because of a change in construction material, you don't say "well, I guess it's just going to sway like that forever." You increase the support and prove out the structure.
Then again, I'm just a dummy who builds buildings...
