> Very different approach to Bryan Armstrong, who’s more of a Bitcoin “believer”
The fact that you think this goes to show just how little you know about this ecosystem. And Bankman is the worst type of con-artist, he is going to use his billion(s) to influence US politics rather than build viable technological solutions. Armstrong has been the source of ire since the Segwit wars where he scammed and peddled Bcash on unsuspecting noobs using the 'legitimacy' of being the only YC backed and US sanctioned exchange. It's been a series of horrible UX after bad business strategy.
Armstrong is what I expected when SV entered this space and played the typical VC game as seen with the buy-out of 21 Inc. I kind of respect him for hustling the SV crowds with such an absurd IPO valuation, but he is immensely foolish if he did not cash out then and there and anticipate buying back under this bear market to recapitalize and sell more of his worthless shares as they cratered in price.
Again, HN is pathetically out of its depth when it comes to this Industry that it's hard to take most of you seriously on anything else.
