I think his career as a writer/blogger/speaker didn’t pay the bills. I think he had to switch to venture capital via shitcoins to make the lifestyle he wanted to live. When people started calling him out for shitcoining, he started separating from the community and claiming he wasn’t a bitcoin maxi.

His parents are extremely well off. If I remember correctly his father is with the world bank or something. Big time banker guy.

Yeah. I know all that and it just doesn’t add up for me. It’s a bizarre story. An extreme & public fall from grace.

Extreme greed to have more Bitcoin. That’s why the community beat him up so badly. We know, he knows, what up. Now he’s willing to scam to get money.

His image wasn’t making him any money being honest. Destroying it got him a lot of money and some heavy followers.
