He is comparing it to Enron. I think it is just a case of sour grapes. He missed investing in it and now he thinks it will implode. Just like Jamie, he feels threatened by Bitcoin.

What do you think guys? Does his opinion have any real or historical basis? Or is his just a misinformed opinion?

(Note: I know that this post should probably be in the child board Press, but most of the stuff going on there are just news postings and not much else. I just want to know your informed and intelligent take on his opinion. Thanks.)


For most of his statement, he's making sense. He's essentially saying that Bitcoin is decentralized but in a way that may not seem super positive or reinforcing. As for the last part, it's solely his belief that a lot of people refute and do not agree with. I don't understand the Enron reference, however. Enron was a scandal that had a lot of false numbers and false claims. Bitcoin doesn't have that one entity to bullshit numbers.
