For some reason I had developed a negative sense about you early on Loup, but I don't remember quite why.

I left what I thought to be the most interesting part in the quoted text above. I believe that it would be better for the Bitcoin project generally if more people take a more realistic view of the solution, warts and all. The solution is, to me, a fascinating start and has the potential to be quite a powerful development as humanity marches forward. But at this point your description is pretty accurate. The more starry-eyed the community, the more fertile the ground for 'bad shit' to germinate and grow to maturity.
