This rant is so bad it makes Charlie Stross' rant seem convincing. And Charlie Stross' rant was really unconvincing.

    > With a host of misconceptions the author goes on a tirade about how (s)he “hates” bitcoin, how anyone can really hate a protocol is beyond me. It's pretty clear he hates the monetary policy that comes with bitcoin, and that it (in his eyes) makes it easier to evade taxes. That's hating on the consequences of bitcoin, not hating on the bitcoin protocol. > In the case of the author I’m referencing I think he’s just plain jealous of those of us who are winning. You are ascribing emotions to him but I see little evidence to support him having those emotions. "They're just jealous" is a trope used by politicians to imply that issues raised by their opponents are not worthy of discussion, and thus to avoid having to actually address issues their opponents raise.

      Fair enough. I'll make some edits around this in the morning. Thanks! Edit: Done. Thanks again!
