So you think the author's very intricately written, detailed arguments are "silly" and all you can offer in retort is an anecdote about how you weren't effected by the Bitfinex hack (which was a tiny part of the author's argument).
- CryptoPunk 9y agoThere are a lot of lies in the article, and the rest is an intricate hit piece on privacy rights, with the false equivalence between privacy and anarchy/criminality (e.g. the idea that 'only criminals have something to hide'). Ironically the author protects the privacy of his contributors at the end of the article.
- darawk 9y agoI started writing a detailed rebuttal and debunking of the author's points, but then I noticed others had done it already, so I didn't waste my time. Suffice it to say that many of the things he says simply aren't true, and for the rest, his reasoning is poor. For details, you can read other posts in this comment thread.
