This guy just can't stop getting fooled. What a lunatic fool.
To the extent that Roger is a victim, because it is difficult to assert that someone is a victim if he likely has accumulated multiple millions in value through whatever tactics/choices he has made over the years, he is a victim of his own passions to be right at all costs. He doubles and triples down on his passions. For example, he has a vision regarding what bitcoin was supposedly supposed to be, a payment mechanism, and even if anyone believes that his vision is lacking, Roger chose to go to all out war with bitcoin devs and to take it personally when bitcoin devs would assert that Roger is stupid in regards to his vision(s) about bitcoin. So Roger would tell devs that they are stupid in their lack of abilities to understand economics, etc etc etc.
So now Roger is teaming up with one of the smartest guys in the world, Richard Heart. If you don't believe me that Richard is one of the smartest guys in the world, then ask Richard (Richard, in his own words, has the dead bodies of any Core Dev that attempted to debate him trailing him). Richard will tell you that he is smarter than anyone else, and so both Richard and Roger (RR) are teaming up. The two self-proclaimed smartest guys in the world. Can you see any kind of disaster coming out of this relationship?
