You make some decent arguments here and there when you're not going on and on about Jews or PMs, so it really puzzles me how you fail to understand that metals are going the way of the dodo a generation or two down the road. Except that dodos will be brought back at some point.
I think his persona is actually a piece of work. My wildest and most likely guess is he's a mid-upper class urban jew.
1 He's familiar with relatively obscure details of (((their))) lifestyle/culture and successfully uses his knowledge as a counterfeit "I know my enemy".
2 His level of understanding in certain technical fields is higher than usually shows. What he writes up is not always google soup.
3 He feigns obtuse insensitivity by the use of repetitive patterns, successfully evoking schizoid psychosis.
1 suggests "Jew". 2 suggests middle/upper class education. 3. suggests sophisticated character management, at least at the cliché level.
I wager he often laughs when reading or posting.
And in the short-term Bitcoin clearly has the superior expected value even without riding the waves up and down.
Also, you keep running the same talking points. Bitcoin is not a permissioned ledger. You are free to process and broadcast your own transactions or employ any number of the payment processors/accelerators.
He knows it and does have some coin for sure. Probably not as much as he'd like: always hungry for more, you know the type. Don't forget (((who))) he actually is.
Undeniably effective. He's one of the first participants I noticed and focused on when I came here as a newbie around 2013.
Roach, as in Mr. Samsa, hm? I guess he was a jew, too, as was Franz K.
1. Could be explained away by fanaticism induced research. I have some very obscure knowledge about very obscure things mostly because I snowball down weird paths out of sheer interest.
2. is clear. I don't know about middle/upper class, but he's definitely not your average racist retard. (Although possibly still a racist retard.)
3. Sounds very plausible. But hard for me to imagine, mostly because I lack the discipline to do anything for such a long time. Seems like the most likely though.
Precisely because he seems to be taking the piss out of people. I agree that he's probably laughing a lot while on this thread (e.g. when he exposed himself as Ibian's sidekick).
Would also be surprised if he didn't have a significant stake in BTC and perhaps some other shitcoins for P&D as well. Always seems to avoid real arguments and clearly not stupid enough to miss out on such an obvious windfall.
