Who did so ?
Andreas Antonopoulos. By right, you should be familiar with him that you do not even need to ask this stupid question.
Yes, an idealist, somewhat naive, hoping to be on the verge of a buzz, and he was right (in fact, lucky). You have any idea how many people run around in the world to sell an idea that doesn't work out ? So the "dark forces of the world" sent out their agent special 007. Wow, impressive. You don't have Greenpeace activists running around ? You don't have people travelling the world about many crazy and not so crazy ideas ? So what ? That's proof that the Rotschilds are behind this ?
I personally know a guy who has been "running around the world" to promote e-cash in the 199X. He was tremendously enthusiastic about it. He was in contact with David Schaum. He was/is also an internet entrepreneur. He had been promoting Netscape too. I've seen many such enthusiastic people. And no, the Rotschilds weren't behind him. I knew him since childhood. And no, he totally missed the bitcoin train, 10 years later.
The shadow elite planned for bitcoin at least back in 1988, publicly. Luck is for the sheep. The shadow elite creates their own reality through thought power.
The shadow elite is a bunch of people that have been lucky at a certain point in their lives, and then think it is their nature to be lucky.
Oh, really? Closing eh? They shouldn't be waiting for 8 years eh? They should have announce it right away and force immediate adoption eh?
"they" aren't needed to explain bitcoin. Not more than invisible pink unicorns are needed to explain the motion of the moon. But for all we know, the moon could be moving because invisible pink unicorns are pushing it.
Simple people don't need any master plan. And when things happen, they always never see it coming. You have naive idealism too.
Most people don't see things coming. And those that did, by chance, think that it is because they were smart.
Look at the world soccer cup. Select 4096 people. Before the first match, send to 2048 people that crew A will win, or there will be a draw. Send to the other 2048 people, that crew B will win.
If ever crew A won, or there was a draw, discard the second batch. If crew B won, discard the first batch.
Now, of the 2048 remaining people, before the second game (between C and D), send to 1024 of them that crew C will win, or there will be a draw ; send to the 1024 remaining ones, that crew D will win.
Discard those that got the wrong prediction.
Etc..
At the end, you will end up with 4 people to which you've made 10 successive correct predictions ! You must be a hell of a smart guy to them !
Real world dynamics is too complex for complicated conspirational plans to work out, or even to "see it coming", but some people will think A is coming, and some people will think B is coming. When A is coming, the first lot thinks they are smart. Within their lot, part of them will see C coming, others will see D coming. If C is coming, those that saw A and C think they are even smarter.
Etc...
Bitcoin will last.
Of course. I didn't say the opposite. But not as you think it will last. Or as you think it will last. So many people have so many different opinions, that some of them, will, by chance, be right.
