Martin Shkreli doesn’t like Bitcoin because he thinks that there is no “consensus” on how to improve it, additionally he believes that because Bitcoin is software the updates will be patchy and will not work.

I can’t tell if this is a genuine belief resulting out of ignorance of not diving into Bitcoin and attempting to understand it at a technical level, economical, and social level. Or if it’s purely a malicious belief to attack a new form of finance and banking that goes against his fiat bias.

Folk like this frustrate me because they have the capacity to do the deep dive and understand it, yet he allocates that work to his one staff “analyst”. I call this fiat brain rot.
