Much like Elon Musk couldn't liquidate his stocks and wind up a billionaire, my bitcoin is nowhere nearly worth $70B. I won't tell you my estimate, but I will say that it's quite modest by comparison.
Do you think the world really has $70B in cash to blow on bitcoin right now? Big players mine the stuff, they don't buy it.
> Bitcoin was designed by an individual with intimate knowledge of the state of the art in suspicions of NSA backdoors.
Insiders at the NSA (or any other TLA, foreign or domestic) also fit this description. The strongest position is to know both the truth, and the most compelling misconceptions.
I think it is a mistake for me to fight the “NSA created bitcoin” narrative. I am gleeful at Nelson not owning any bitcoin and want all like him who reject it for ideological reasons to continue to misunderstand it.
Freedom and human rights need financial backing, and bitcoin does that.
