Ugh, he commented now on the story because bitcoins are the craze now - or were. He doesn't hate bitcoins: he's just used it to make many of his arguments clearer. This is his style, it's not personal. The only people that could leverage that accusation against him (and be wrong) are JoeScar and the Flimflam man. Is just about the data. He was wrong about the internet because he commited the mistake he usually criticizes in others: talk about something without the data or knowing the data. He is not wrong about bitcoins. It doesn't mean bitcoins don't work as alternate currencies (which they obviously do) but how reliable can they be when their value changes so drastically? Bitcoins will hardly matter on a post apocalyptic world because it hardly matters today (unless bitcoins holders increase dramatically): that's why he called it antisocial.
