Reread the first sentence I quoted from spookthesunset. Surely Andreas is a "spokesperson," insofar as Bitcoin has any -- I can find examples of popular media calling him a "Bitcoin Evangelist," plenty of interviews with mainstream news, etc. "Top of the foodchain" is a hard to pin down moving goalpost -- only one person is at the top of the foodchain, so anyone I can name won't count if you can find a single other person higher than them by any metric. I'm not disagreeing with your more constrained claimed regarding Bitcoin and criminality, it was the broad claim of spookthesunset that I found ridiculous (which you seem to as well, perhaps for slightly different reasons -- I didn't really even want to poke at the term "normal person," given that the sort of people who work on cryptographic-Rube-Goldberg-machines aren't exactly normal by all standards, and that's okay, it's just a lot to unpack and not what spookthesunset was really getting at). In retrospect, I do feel like I should have quoted less from spookthesunset.
