Yeah... Why Bob? I think very highly of Andreas and his work on educating the masses about Bitcoin.
He's got too much "paid salesperson" / Ron Popeil type vibe going on now.
Used Bitcoin to prop himself up, with the help of the community, and now he's like a JJG kinda guy who loves sniffing his own farts,
I was going to say something about your petty whiny little ass in terms of your Andreas criticism earlier, but I thought that I would just let it slide for the moment, even though I did recognize that there was no there there, beyond your being a jealous and petty weak-assed emotional cunt. Probably you consider that a compliment. hahahahaha.. you deranged attention-whoring dweeb.
#nohomo... or maybe #homo.. whatever...
and thinks he's too good for anyone who dares disagree with him. Has blocked a whole bunch of luminaries who dared call him out. Painted himself into a corner and did himself no favors. Viewed as a pariah.
I will agree that Andreas is a weird and emotional character.. and probably is way more comparable to ur lil selfie than to me.. and least in terms of some of his petty blocking of people and unable to take criticisms.
Andreas is a quite great historical and public contributor to the BTC space.. in a lot of ways.. and cannot deny him that even though he has several petty ways including probably being a bit more receptive to shitcoin pumpenings than would be preferable..but whatever, he does seem to have pretty high personal ethics, even if his behavior may end up having some questionable ethical ramifications in terms of either enabling other scammers or seeming to look the other way in terms of some important problematic areas that involve scamminess of some projects and people who likes based on what seems to be SWJ-like principles.
Absolute narcissist case gone pathologically wrong. Started off altruistic, but once he got fame/retard-income-stream for a bit there - briefly - went to his head, and turned into an absolute Garbageman.
That's a bit exaggerated Bawb.
Andreas still has a lot of great redeeming qualities, even if some of us might not agree with him on some of his points or his ways of presenting some matters... and by the way, I doubt that he is less narcissistic than you... but whatever.. you are the one making the narcissistic accusation.. which seems a wee bit problematic for a guy with your history.. even when you erased a whole shit-ton of it.. which still does not mean that it did not happen.. for some of us who remember your seemingly never-ending quasi-nonsubstantive attention-whoring.
I belong to the Twitter Toxic Bitcorn Maxi Clan, so, that's where this observation is coming from.
Good for you on the bitcoin maximalism issues, but not sure if you would be reliable in a pinch.. or in the trenches when shit is really going down.. but hey, each of us has to come to our judgements in terms of if we might want to get stuck in the trenches with nutjob 1, 2, or 3 and which might be the lesser of evils...
To be fair, @aantonop is a fucking retarded shill.
I have merited this because you are principled enough to say it. I think he was a great boon for early Bitcoin. And he's a complex dude. I can't STAND his political stance (nor do I agree with most of his positions as expressed, but I am not talking about that I am talking about the holier than thou, preachy intolerance). And he does seem to have a bit of shilliness... I do not mind that he is somewhat permissive of altcoins. But the dude has to be smart enough to understand why ETH is doomed to not only centralize but be a net negative for "crypto". And he wrote that book.. yeah. Shill.
I cannot really disagree with this cAPSLOCK's way of framing the matter, because it seems to be less detached than Bawb's petty and emotional way of framing the matter.
