You sound pretty angry. Lucy's claims, true or not, clearly struck a nerve with you. I think even if she did have more data you'd find someway to discredit it. You could have easily just shown the very real examples of rich peopl

That's like the days of whitchhunts. You're a whitch if you can't prove otherwise. You can't be guilty unless proven innocent. If you're going to claim bitcoin is at some kind of technical-limit, you have to show it
