He is a strange figure in the Bitcoin space. He was supposedly ordered to study Bitcoin from a militarily strategic standpoint or something like that, so he came up with a crazy theory about how Bitcoin is a strategic asset. That all makes sense, but then he goes on social media and promotes his theory to the general public, which is very unusual for a military official to do imo. Not only that, he has a messiah complex about it and relishes in all the attention he's getting. I'm really not surprised he was reprimanded by the military, he was getting way too public for them.

The real question is if he was reprimanded or not. Remember he was blocking people on Twitter as a viral marketing strategy so I wouldn’t put it past him to make some dumb shit up about higher ups telling him to shut up to try to boost book sales when it inevitably reappears on Amazon.
Yeah I'm assuming that part. If it's another of his psyops I'm going to like him even less.
