He keeps himself busy with Philanthropy these days, and I respect him a lot because of it. I could imagine it would be harder for him to justify spending time investing in bitcoin when he is actively working to improve third world living conditions.
Actively? Actively doing what? Sterilizing them all to stop them from breeding?

If FIAT didn't exist I'm pretty sure we would of sorted the problems in the third world out a long long time ago. Why are so many human feats restricted by cash?
