Indeed. Except mat is just another of the parasites competing for a free lunch ... he's like one of those squiggly little round worms that you sometimes in the stool of children, and he's complaining because the tapeworms are strangling him to death.
Now if he and the rest of the parasites actually tried to contribute to bitcoin instead of gratuitous blood-sucking that might graduate to symbiotic level status.
Sure, he's complaining about how the BTC ecosytem as it currently exists is at least parasitic as the fiat world in terms of stealing lunch money, and he's right. Both are how they are ... bad actorseverywhere.
Ideology is not an excuse, whatever side of the fence you sit ... purge the rats on both sides
Lol, I don't think you understand that Mat is one of the bad actors:
