MODERATORS
I fundamentally disagree with the author's worldview, however this is a good write-up.
One thing he didn't discuss was the block size debate and emergence of BCH. I recently heard a fellow cryptoskeptic explain that BCH was the side that people should have backed. Makes me wonder which side Epstein was on
What is the author's worldview?
Epstein funded the BTC side, small blockers. Their goal was to make sure Bitcoin cannot be used as a currency, which would threaten government backed bank issues notes.
BitcoinCash (BCH) is the real Bitcoin paper according to the original white paper.
The author seems to be a true believer in the mission of cryptocurrency (it's all bollocks, possibly created by the CIA)
Thanks for the details about Epstein! Quite fascinating
