he is just a pawn in play #5) or #6) in what I laid out previously below;
Any one of the host of three letter agencies have shut down with violence any representation of an alternate currency or market enabling freedom for participants in the past with a long persistent history of doing so. Even today, spooks are in awe of Bitcoin's continued existence. The three letter agencies had to scramble quick in 2011/2012 to dampen this revolution which resulted in following decades long plan;
1) attack adoption (and fiat) on-ramps, create thousands of mt gox like scenarios gloabally in perpetuity
2) orient chip manufacturers to create ASIC and have chinese mining operations to mine and dump BTC
3) attack protocol with network attacks, denial of services, infiltrate BIPs
4) create the industry - fund creation of endless more-centralized altcoins, reorient around blockchain technology and benefits of crypto and distract away from counterparty-destroying self sovereign Bitcoin use. Have Big 4 accounting firms push this narrative and thinking globally
5) social attack; pay and use defectors & influencers to distract & proclaim failure of Bitcoin (Mike Hearn, Roger Ver, Craig Wright, Elon Musk, Larry Fink, Mark Cuban)
6) Identify, attack and remove from power or assissinate globally political leaders in office supporting Bitcoin
7) Remove stability, using #4 above also pair with planned operations of liquidity attacks, mainly for dumping but also for pumping to pressure out partcipants in the system
