Man, that guy. You have to admit he is the smart brand of sociopath. He blows into town and becomes some sort of bitcoin "thought leader" overnight. He pivots effortlessly to shitcoining complete with all the convoluted participation structure of an MLM. Everything is going great! Nobody can touch Richard.

Ahh but here is the way that smart sociopaths implode -- the walls close in, but their confidence doesnt allow them to see it. Their ideas get dumber, all the while thinking they are just as smart and untouchable. And the walls keep closing in.
