FWIW,
Gregory Maxwell also believed that satoshi's design was fundamentally and irredeemably broken. And these are the 'geniuses' that so much of the community choose to follow.

As if you have any kind of credibility here to be asserting the ideas of GMaxwell in proper context?
You need me to dig up a quote to show how wrong you are?
Found this:
"When bitcoin first came out, I was on the cryptography mailing list. When it happened, I sort of laughed. Because I had already proven that decentralized consensus was impossible."
but than also
"I started contributing to the bitcoin software basically right after paying attention to it and learning how it worked. Seeing, 'oh, this isn't impossible'."
