hybrix has decided to go into more detail after an article stirred up some outrage among supporters of Andreas Antonopoulos on social media. The article titled
Andreas Antonopoulos accused of Plagiarism for “Internet of Money” was published in the period right after April fools and caused a stir of confusion within the community.
Andreas Antonopoulos is one of the most influential and unbiased sources of knowledge and technology in the blockchain world. There have not been many people who have had such a positive impact on education on Bitcoin and Blockchain technology as him. He is an authority on blockchain and digital security, has advised large US companies on data security and has written hundreds of articles about cryptography, security, distributed ledgers, cloud computing and bitcoin.
Several of his talks and works were compiled into a series called the “Internet of Money” which became bestsellers. The non-profit open source project hybrix put out “a sarcasm article which was meant to herald his achievements for the community in an ironic way” as was phrased in a statement on Discord. Although the article was drenched in irony, with quotes like “The company says Antonopoulos should stop promoting the freedom of the Internet and the freedom of money: ‘This is already done by us!’”, some of the irony was lost on its readers.
“Suing, blaming and gatekeeping is not the game we play. We are a huge supporter of what Andreas does and of course we’d never sue him. We tried to make it obvious for the reader that this was a joke.”
– a quote from the statement of the spokesperson on Discord
The non-profit project shares the vision of Andreas on freedom, privacy, open source, interoperability and collaboration in this technology age. They have been working for years on cracking the interoperability code to unite digital ledgers.
“If you like what Andreas Antonopoulos does and you believe in Freedom of Money as well, we’d like to collaborate with you to bring crypto to the next level.”
