Jesus. Why is it that people with this level of crazy keep appearing at the top of important tech projects??

  That thread I linked to is 6 years old. The people in charge of the Bitcoin software know this and keep him on the project. To me that says a lot about the core Bitcoin people. Maybe Ethereum people are better? Let's see what Vitaly thinks about child pornography. https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/v0n5d5/vitalik_buterins_perspective_on_child_pornography/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/v0n5d5/vitalik_bu... I'll proudly go on record saying that I think 99% of crypto related things are scams, money laundering, or for illegal activities including sanctions evasions, but the people at the top are pretty disgusting.

Yeah, I'm not sad about any of this. The guy is an ivory tower conspiracy theorist and moralistic extremist whose crazy apparently does not reach to the point of doing the bare minimum to ensuring that his stash was safe. Not even the first time he was hacked in the past 2 months.
