“That spirit of freedom stands in sharp contrast to any top-down attempt to impose it on an entire population”

A fair article except, I believe, the above statement. I fully agree with its sentiment but don’t agree that it’s true. I think the word “ impose” goes too far.

As far as I was aware the plan was that no one ever had to either use or accept Btc. The Chivo wallet was meant to convert, or not depending on the users preference.

I have a feeling he fell foul of the common problem of software developers exaggerated claims of what they could deliver.

And I think his “spirit of freedom” led him to run before the whole space could walk properly.
