I always said the issue of Luke losing most of his bitcoins IS a big deal. He no longer has a financial interest in bitcoins success plus when he went to the feds to cry for help they very easily could put him on their payroll. Lord knows he needed money. And they get a mole inside Bitcoin. A very symbiotic relationship indeed.

Plus Luke clearly has a bone to pick with Bitcoin community. And it is important to know that this individual is a little bit mentally unsound.

Does it also matter that Peter Todd sold half his bitcoin 11 years ago? https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/s/2M5FPyZcSC

Selling half and making a lot of profit vs losing it all and running to the feds?

It was 11 years ago, he missed out on a lot of gains just like Luke. Explains his severe BDS, like wanting to get rid of the 21M supply cap, and his "I'll make any PR for money" policy. Todd and Lopp are the kind of devs that were shown the door a few years ago. It's disgusting to see people who should know better worshipping these shitcoiners.

I don't worship anybody. I run an old version of core because I believe it's in my best interest.

I meant that worshipping comment for people like Adam Back, jb55, calle, walker, and many others. And the fact I disagree with all these "experts" is fine by me. I'm used to being in that situation. Smart move to run an old version. At least wait until we see what the unintended consequences are (I'm sure there will be some).
