Is John Schmidt In Some Hot Water?

[Kickin' Chicken]

I saw a couple FB references to do with John Schmidt getting into some possible trouble with Jeremy Jones at The Int'l regarding commentary.

Was there an incident that I missed with these guys?

I did hear John say one funny comment the gist of it was that one of the player needed to be careful they didn't get a "Biden" you know; an unwanted kiss. lol

I don’t about that, but the Philly’s received the Biden touch

I hope not. I enjoyed their commentary together. I only watched the free preview match between Alex and Dee Adkins. Which was a great match btw.

I'm not sure, but I think I read he was talking to Mark Wilson in the commentary booth and did not know the mic was turned on and referred to Jeremy Jones as "genius." I don't see what's so bad about that, actually.

Thought I heard something about him breaking the Earl on the mosconi cup team before the actual announcement

His words were “according to the genius “ regarding ball skid. Not that bad if you don’t mind saying the same thing to their face instead of stabbing a coworker in the back.

He didn't break any news about Earl being on the team. During the free preview with Earl's match, John simply put that obviously Jeremy jones is the captain and that Earl was looking to impress as he was in the running for the team.

What would the hot water be and from who? Isn't he retired?

I think this was the source for someone saying the news was leaked on air about Earl. It was very hearsay at the time. Was that John speaking? People were saying it was.

Seems like he did.

If it's that John referred to JJ as "the Genius" during a hot mic moment I could see some of John's industry peers being the hot water and it could just be an embarrassing moment for him - worse case, if true, maybe he'd not be invited to certain commentating gigs. All very speculative.

Did his seat have a warmer? What was he wearing and more importantly what size were his pockets? If there's no unedited video it never happened. And most importantly- at any point did he or anyone else clean his balls?

Meh. This pales in comparison to the fact that John was pumping BitCoin on Facebook to his fans, saying it basically "couldn't lose", and "$100,000 by Christmas", around a year ago. A lot of pool fans were digging it, and said they were gonna jump in immediately.

I interjected (respectfully) and told him and the people he was pumping to, that in my professional opinion as a IT Security professional, that BitCoin price was extremely vulnerable to any major superpowers banning cryptocurrency (which China did last year), any negative news (a few months later Elon Musk stated that Tesla would no longer accept BitCoin re: environmental issues, due to high electrical cost of farming BitCoins...), and any major hacks of cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance was hacked and lost ~ 500 million dollars within a short time of my warning). Plus probably a few more reasons why investing in Bitcoin at $60,000+ was problematic..

He then got all butthurt because he said (in a private message) things insinuating I thought he was stupid, and that I was so much smarter than him, and that he just couldn't deal with my negativity any more... Then he blocked me. Let me tell you.. He is a THIN skinned dude if anyone disagrees with him.

When he was pumping BitCoin? Price was ~ $65,000 a Bitcoin. It immediately began it's fall within a month or so of my warning John he was doing his fans a disservice by pumping this "investment". Current price? ~ $20,000 a BitCoin. Which means anyone who followed his advice lost over 66% of their investment.

Still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

(For the record, I don't believe one word coming out of Elon's mouth about why he shut down accepting BitCoin. I doubt it had anything at all to do with environmental concerns, and was likely him trying to weaken BitCoin's luster as he was trying to foist his meme DogeCoin on a gullible public.. Either that, or just did not want Tesla associated with some of the more shady ways people use BitCoin..)

JJ is a better commentator than JS will ever have any hope to be. JS is a dude with a MASSIVE amount of natural talent. JJ is not, and had to build his game from the ground up based on the percentages, and knowing EXACTLY what he is hoping to accomplish with any particular shot, and building in a margin of error. I have watched thousands of hours of commentated pool matches, and JJ still teaches me stuff about the inner workings of the game, and the specific reasons for shooting certain shots, or shooting them a specific way.

What do you think about HBar or more importantly Hedera Hashgraph?

Doesn't Schmidt come off as a jag-off to most people anyways? He sounded dumb on the one stream I watched where he was commentating with Jones doing this phony attitude deferring to Jones on everything like he had never played rotation pool. He doesn't really pull off his whole little humble condescending spiel while commentating anyways.

I think if these things are competitors to blockchains in any way, shape, or form, they have the same weaknesses as what I posted above. Anything the government can't really track or does not endorse, and competes with the currency being supported by the government, they can ban. A high profile ban, and your "investment" can lose 50% overnight.

Noooooooooo thanks.

Well, I am not gonna get too much into specifics of my private message conversations with him, but suffice it to say, he has a huge ego, but weirdly enough, he DOES seem to have some insecurities about his own intelligence. Never really met anyone else quite like that. Definitely not someone world-class in anything...

I'm playing on house money. Cashed out my investment when it went over $.50. Hoping their unique ability to securely do a gazillion more transactions per second than Bit Coin means something in a decade or so. I'm not going to look at it until the last kid gets out of college which seems like forever. If it hits its rum for everyone!

Yeah, that's the way to "invest" in any cryptocurrency or their competitors. Throw some money in when it is EXTREMELY cheap, with the full expectation you will lose every dime. If other people jump on board the train, you ride the wave of emotional buying, and you can make some money.

What you DON'T do, is pump a massive bubble on an extremely expensive investment to your friends and fans, and cause them to lose their arses, like John did.
