Peter Thiel warns that #Bitcoin threatens the U.S. dollar.
- Bloomberg
โEven though I'm a pro-crypto, pro-Bitcoin maximalist person, I do wonder whether if at this point Bitcoin should also be thought of in part as a Chinese financial weapon against the U.S.โ says @Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel.

'Pro-Crypto' Peter Thiel Warns Bitcoin "Could Be A Chinese Financial Weapon Against The US"
https://t.co/3FOJRf1jNOThis is absurd. Peter Thiel does not hate Bitcoin.
True, Iโve never found a shrine to BTC in his home. He has never written a song or prayer to Bitcoin. And I have never seen him lovingly polishing a physical Bitcoin. But for gosh sakes, enough with the insane misrepresentation.
https://t.co/K8l513DQJVThiel is pointing out to the nation's elite that, far from being tulips or a speculative mania, Bitcoin has geopolitical and civilizational significance and will be pivotal in the rise and fall of fortunes and empires

Thiel setting the standard for insight, patriotism and courage among Big Tech and Social Media leaders. #Dobbs
https://t.co/YDjfx7EUKO@LibertyBlitz I would say this is my most recent. Palantir was explicitly founded to make a privatized version of the DARPA program Total Information Awareness after 9/11 by neocons, Thiel and the CIA.
https://t.co/MROLRoWwM6 So Thiel is saying he's pro-Bitcoin and Bitcoin is also a Chinese financial weapon to undermine American global hegemony, which means Thiel is pro-China & anti-American? Have I got that right?
https://t.co/oTaXHCVYGZPut another way, obviously Thiel does not consider the **Euro** to actually be a Chinese plot against America.
But China may favor the Euro as part of a more multipolar world. In theory theyโd favor Bitcoin too (though not in practice!).
A humorous remark turned into clickbait.

Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, the man who bought Zuckerberg a car before he got rich, an initial investor of Ripple (OpenCoin) in 2013, called himself a, "pro-Bitcoin maximalist person" then went on to call BTC a Chinese financial weapon.
Something not adding up here...yet.
โIt threatens fiat money, but it especially threatens the U.S. dollar," Thiel said.

@technology2) Thiel also said that Apple was unlikely to confront China because of its massive supply chain to manufacture iPhones and other products in the country.

ACCORDING TO PETER THIEL, CHINA COULD BE UTILIZING BITCOIN AS A "FINANCIAL WEAPON" AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
@nic__carter @skibbi9 @MartyBent He's not really repeating Green's points.
Green -> China is using BTC to accumulate USD and possibly attack BTC once they're done.
Thiel -> China is accumulating BTC in order to attack USD supremacy. US should catch up.

@QwQiao nails it.
Peter Thiel is one of the greatest minds of our generation. He knows what heโs doing. Few know that
@VitalikButerin was awarded a grant by Thielโs fellowship which is amazing and he obviously believes in the technology.

https://t.co/6AU8MYhxX2@gal_suburban Matter of time before Thiel, Musk, and a few others in that club become the obsession of a nut job that takes Mimetic Theory to heart. They are the disease
@digitalassetbuy @peterthiel and
@elonmusk failed to accomplish what they wanted to with PayPal...hereโs Elonโs mentality on failure. Iโm going to take a wild guess here and say that Elon & his buddy Peter Thiel came up with a different plan to accomplish their goal. ๐
https://t.co/JwaBjxOzSk I agree with Thiel. Cold wars are bullish for superweapons.
(Why is this controversial?)
Peter Thiel โEven thought I am maximalist i wonder if #bitcoin is a financial weapon of the Chinese government against the dollarโ
Certainly you would have thought by now that Thiel knows how Bitcoin works, but well I guess he does not
