- junippor 6y agoI think it's genius. I'm glad scumbags like this is exist. They make our systems more robust.
- eurusdac 6y agoYes, when Craig Wright first came along it was great because you could tell from Bitcoiners' reactions how susceptible to hype/bullshit they were. Either you accepted obvious truths about how crypto works, or you didn't. Knowing this about members of that community in particular was hugely helpful. (Now even the grifters, hype artists and clowns have had enough of Craig's bullshit.)

- junippor 6y agoGee I don't know who you're thinking about :-)
- wmf 6y agoIf Tether and Craig Wright were smacked down propmtly they might make our systems more robust, but letting their bullshit drag on for years and years hurts the ecosystem IMO.
