I've never been arrested, I have no criminal record, I have never been sued successfully or otherwise, and I have never been a suspect in a crime. Bruce, on the other hand...

Wow! So how can it then be that some apparently convinced fraudster was able to significantly broaden the bitcoin economy, while you only work on damaging it?

In your opinion. Considering I've gotten multiple people into it and someone setting up a bitcoin-related business is planning to hire me to write code for it, I'd say I've actually done something.

Your claim that I am "damaging" it, though? Well, let's see. Your argument is I'm damaging it by, um... What. Oh, that's right! Exposing Bruce as a scammer and providing proof, so that people won't fall for his next scam.

Gee, how horrible a person I am that I traveled back in time and planted false evidence against Bruce in a court archive JUST so I could point at that after Bitcoin came out.

I could argue that you traveling back in time (at least before 2003), are as illegal as Bruce, depending on the US state you are in. You could have ended up in prison back in those years. So why do you value his past that much?

I'll give you that, he was great at evangelising. Bitcoin is quite a complicated thing for the layman to understand, but he had a way with words. He always used to explain how easy the whole process was to beginners, you just had to go to mybitcoin.com and press "register"...

I think Bruce didn't know better. As one can tell from his shows, he is very ungeeky regarding computer stuff (and microphones BTW

)
