clavicular called bitcoin 'garbage' and apparently went full tirade about it
per yahoo finance, the man currently banned from youtube had strong opinions about cryptocurrency. the lore expands in unexpected directions.
chat, we have been so focused on the paris arc that we apparently missed clavicular going to war with bitcoin.
per a yahoo finance report from june 2, clavicular launched what is described as an "aggressive tirade" against crypto, with the headline quote being "bitcoin is garbage." that's it. that's the quote. flat. direct. delivered, presumably, with the same energy he uses to review french restaurants.
now. given the current state of his lore, which includes a terminated youtube account, a runway debut described as having the charisma of drywall, and a confrontation clip where a stranger told him nobody gives a f**k, it is worth asking: what are we actually looking at here. a principled financial stance. a bit. a guy who had a bad day in june and pointed it at an asset class.
here are the receipts, such as they are:
- the yahoo finance headline describes it as an "aggressive tirade," which is a specific word choice. not a comment. not a take. a tirade. the piece, per its title, frames clavicular as a "controversial lookmaxer," which tells you where the publication is situating this in the discourse.
- the bitcoin-is-garbage quote is attributed directly to clavicular in the headline. the article does not appear to offer significant context for what provoked it, what platform it occurred on, or whether this was a longer argument or a single utterance. we are working with the headline.
- the june 2 date is notable because it predates nearly every item in the paris arc. meaning clavicular was already in some kind of mode before the runway, before gunna ignored him, before the kiss, before the youtube ban. the crypto tirade may in fact be the opening scene of a season we are only now watching unfold.
- "controversial lookmaxer" as a descriptor in a financial publication is, on its own, a thing that happened. yahoo finance did that. voluntarily.
to be clear: we do not know what specific claims he made beyond the headline quote. we do not know if this was a stream, a post, or a voice memo sent to the wrong group chat. the yahoo finance report is the source signal and it is thin.
what we do know is that the man has now, in the span of a few weeks, alienated france, bitcoin, rockstar games, and youtube. that is a content strategy. or it is something else entirely.
anyway. satoshi doesn't know he exists either.
