In the video interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ1TIYxm1vM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ1TIYxm1vM he never demonstrates how he tears them apart after mentioning that they're perforated. To me, it all looks like a 4x1 sheet of $2 bills that you can buy off the US mint. The video interview all sounds like a joke, and he says at some point "No, no it's all a joke". Unless it's a deposition, it's all based on trusting his character and given his latest speaker appearances, I have doubts about his character.

Wait, what? You have doubts about Steve Wozniak's character? Anyone who knows Woz can assure you that he is quite a character!

    The eyepatch in his photo is a nice touch.

The sheet on the mints site looks very flat, it doesn't look like it would fold in this manner, this looks like it's been perforated: https://www.instagram.com/starworldlab/p/C-vzStay1yx/?img_index=1 https://www.instagram.com/starworldlab/p/C-vzStay1yx/?img_in... Curious though, what speaking appearance are you talking about? He always just seems like a jolly old man to me who is a bit out of touch but quite sweet.

  The one that irked me the most was his cameo for a dubious crypto startup https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38855645 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38855645 He does a lot of public speaking the quality can be gauged by searching "Steve Wozniak conference", and his attendance can be bought https://www.aurumbureau.com/speaker/steve-wozniak/ https://www.aurumbureau.com/speaker/steve-wozniak/ What kind of message a person who is getting paid by the platform is going to have? I'm overall not very trusting of his opinion on the current tech. Yes, he had cofounded Apple, and created the first machines but I don't see anything significant that he created after that. He did start a company in 2020 that was backed by the WOZX token (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/04/apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-is-starting-a-second-company-efforce.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/04/apple-co-founder-steve-wozni...).

    Fair enough, I agree he's super out of touch, just wanted to make sure he wasn't speaking at something really really bad. To save anyone else a google: he is indeed behind a crypto project properly it seems, and the token looks very much like a rug[1], and the cameo thing is real and it seems odd he's not savvy enough to do some background on it/know not to shill NFTs[2]. Speaking fee thing doesn't bother me personally, even I'm on one of those stupid things, they give pretty huge retainers and the money is great. Saw Woz is charging 100k an event, ha!

      Good for him—don’t think he got the big money aapl generated as he got out quite early.

My reaction to that video: Teasing restaurant employees like that, and letting it escalate, isn't my personal style, but... Not only is he a more accomplished hacker than I am, he's even a better talk show guest.

  Per influencer rules, if you screws around neither someone's head for lolz, you should pay them combat wages for their time afterward.
