LOL, he's rich and powerful. I'm just some anonymous loser on the internet.
I think it's interesting that he jumped on responding to me. Very easy to accidentally create a PR issue that would cost him way more business than my anti Bitcoin loan stance ever could.
if you size me up as a rich and powerful guy you don’t know me or understand what i’m building.
i’m a bitcoiner that started a few businesses and am hopefully participating in making this whole sound money mission work.
i speak and stand for what im passionate and care deeply about. always have, always will
I don't know you and you don't know me.

You will not be the first or last person to get upset because I spoke my mind with no punches pulled.
agree!
I like your energy. Maybe it's time to realise that the state licences company model is dead.
Build something outside the system that prevails its downfall.
To do that some wealthy entrepreneur has to have the balls and the opsec to pull it off without getting caught. Which is hard enough (still unclear what the story with Satoshi is). But the users also have to be on board for taking on some risk for using such a service, and there have to be enough of them to justify the entrepreneur taking on that initial huge risk without knowing ahead of time if it'll pay off.
Depending on my mood and state of mind, sometimes I look at that picture and am surprised I don't see it more often, other times it's no surprise that it doesn't emerge. The State intimidation machine is strong.
Either way - Bitcoin normalizing consensual exchange on a global free market is the best chance for chipping away at that control apparatus.
