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.
A lot of people do run around promoting their own work. That is not a surprise.
How many people do you know run around promoting a
complete stranger's work (not his own work, not his friend's work, not his spouse's work, not his relative's work, not his colleague's work, not his sibling's work, not his children's work, not his parent's work)?
