Most of us were wrong about Bitcoin when we first looked at it.
We made assumptions based on our perception, beliefs & past experiences.
I'd be careful about labelling people good or evil. There are light & dark forces operating in this realm but people aren't inherently good or evil. The line between good & evil runs through a man's heart. We can both create & destroy with our hands & experience what that feels like. That is the gift of free choice.
His perception of Bitcoin says a lot about his current manifested experience. Ironically so does your judgement of him.
