Notice how the community of Bitcoin developers don't (and never have) offered themselves up to the public like Voorhees and others do. That's because programmers prefer to do their talking with programming languages, not speaking into cameras with faux earnest or concern like Voorhees.

I am not really that surprised by this type of behavior, considering that more initially respected high level Bitcoiners have decided to walk the wrong path. One way or another, these entities are all looking to 'exploit' Bitcoin for their own financial gain with their hidden agenda motives. It's disgusting to see this happening, but things are no longer how they used to be back in the days, where Bitcoin was everyone's first and only priority. Big money is involved in this eco system, and that's exactly something that can make a friend or respected person turn into the worst scum.

Beware of "Bitcoin experts", like Voorhees, that seek to have themselves placed in articles like this or documentaries on Netflix (with it's notoriously biased political propaganda embedded in it's original drama & documentary output)


Voorhees is a big name who has become part of the cast of characters who've sought to derail Bitcoin's decentralised design, using the scaling/big blocks issue as a smoke screen


Notice how the community of Bitcoin developers don't (and never have) offered themselves up to the public like Voorhees and others do. That's because programmers prefer to do their talking with programming languages, not speaking into cameras with faux earnest or concern like Voorhees.

The result: Bitcoin's acceptance and market price. Achieved using well-conceived & implemented software design, not talking.

Why Erik Voorhees Keeps All His Assets in Bitcoin

If you’ve not heard of Erik Voorhees, then, chances are, you must be new to the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency – because he’s one of the most pre-eminent entrepreneurs in the industry. In fact, he featured heavily in Netflix’s Banking on Bitcoin documentary last year. (Worth watching, by the way, if you need a crash course on how cryptocurrency started and where it’s all going.) Erik famously keeps all his assets and finances in bitcoin.
