    Looks like Micon has had the last laugh.

    Which recent happenings?

    Micon has actually become much more libertarian in recent years. We had some political disagreements when we were friends in the 2000s, as he was fairly left wing, and I was basically the same conservative I am now.

    I've noticed in recent years that, while not right wing at all, Micon has been very critical of the modern left, especially from the censorship and identity politics standpoint. I'd describe him as "libertarian center" at this point, where in the 2000s I'd have described him as somewhere between left and libertarian left.

    Other than men who like men, and girls who like girls, who actually admits to being a Democrat anymore?

    wouldn't this be most real liberals from at least ten years ago?

    they like to act like the right has gotten more extreme but they're so far left they make traditional liberals like Maher look quite sane and rational

    Yes, but it's a combo of traditional liberals looking out of place today, and them being pushed a bit rightward because they're so fed up with the behavior or their own party.

    Basically when they see their own side acting crazy, they become more open to the ideas of the other side, which they previously dismissed.

    I know someone from poker who was very left wing prior to 2020, but they were so disgusted by how the left handled COVID (especially the school closures) that they started to push away, and in fact their social media posts began increasingly criticizing their own party. Eventually they started seeing other issues in their own party which made no sense, and criticized those, as well. I would classify this person as "moderate left" now, whereas before they were hard left. (This isn't a known player or anyone associated with NWP/DD/PFA at any point, by the way.)

    I don't think he died, I think he honestly couldn't defend the burden(Biden) administration any longer.

    Walter is fine and told me that he just got busy with stuff at work and got out of the habit of posting. I don't think he quit because of the Biden Admin being a fail (even though it is), but it is too bad we don't get to see his take on everything at this point.

    Maybe he will surprise us one day and come back, and perhaps admit that Biden sucks.

    I meant from the standpoint of the OG crypto savant. Jet setting with the crypto movers and shakers. We experienced extraordinary events and Micon really had nothing to contribute or say.

    Not a hater. I just thought it striking.

    Reading Micon slathering Musk’s genitals was disappointing. Thought he wouldn’t have so easily fallen victim to the shallow Musk ploppie worship. No one on planet earth has benefited from the federal government’s quantitative easing and tax incentives and subsidies for his products. Then he sold at the very top of the market while the rest got rug pulled.

    Hot libertarian take Micon. Stick to mixed games boyo.

    He should get a contract with the CIA to spew propaganda online - twitter, message forums, etc. He was way too good at parroting state-owned media talking points - and he did it for free! He was so good at repeating what his TV told him to think it didn't even seem real.

    Imagine if Tiger Woods never played professional golf. That's Walter.
