The thing that scares me most about social media like @Twitter is the echo chambers;

Don't get me wrong; I love the families that are created around #NFTs and other #crypto-projects;
i.e. I love following every @firatinsayfasi profile pic in circulation, and I love to see them into my newsfeed; I love to see it populated by @apa_nft, @MifutoMFT and others...

Due to my pre-crypto life, I follow @nntaleb with active notifications. Like many, I started following him because I read his most successful #books, which still #inspire me today and opened my mind years ago as few authors have been able to do. ๐ฉ

My amazement was extreme when I discovered his positions against #BTC, and I was even more surprised when I saw him arguing with suckers who thought they could answer him only because they had an account on #Twitter. Such a shame.

Umberto Eco was right:
"Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community ... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots."

But here comes the point of the matter!
Follow @nntaleb and other intellectuals, masters and philosophers like him; follow those who say that #Bitcoin is a bubble; follow who say that this world we love so much is garbage, and do it with a #respectful silence!

Our job is not to convince academic personalities that they are wrong.
Our job is to learn from them and hear what they teach us.
Also, we like the crypto world so much that we don't need anyone's benevolence!
We make our own #fortune, but we must not have blinders!

Because it may be that we aren't necessarily right just because other profiles with our same #profilepic tell us we are;
Discovering a different point of view can only make us grow and learn.

And understanding that #socialnetworks create echo chambers around us that strengthen our beliefs (even if we are wrong) is fundamental.
So, once again, thank you, master @nntaleb; I hope not to be banned from you ๐
