Seems we need to call in the exterminators tho ... the stench of parasites is strong here

Indeed. Except mat is just another of the parasites competing for a free lunch ... he's like one of those squiggly little round worms that you sometimes in the stool of children, and he's complaining because the tapeworms are strangling him to death.
Now if he and the rest of the parasites actually tried to contribute to bitcoin instead of gratuitous blood-sucking that might graduate to symbiotic level status.
You are just a crony holding free to you coins, nothing to see here.
