“theymos is the worse thing happened to Bitcoin”. How???

Still I didn’t get it how theymos is related to Bitcoin?? If you say theymos is the worse thing happened to Bitcointalk.org may be someone will accept, but how he’s worse to Bitcoin? Because he manages Bitcoin.org? All the information available on bitcoin.org is available all over the internet. Even if bitcoin.org goes down today it will not have any effect on Bitcoin. Source code is available on github.. white paper available on every corner of of the web. So what Bitcoin.org, Bitcointalk.org or theymos have to do any thing to Bitcoin (BTC)?

Even if these three disappears today it will have 0% effect on Bitcoin.

By the way today BTC ATH $64k and Bitcoin market capi. crossed 1 trillion usd. How worse it can get?



And regarding how theymos obtained full control I think he did explain it quite few times

It's surprising how well-documented history can become totally forgotten... Satoshi created the forum on Nov 22, 2009, and was head administrator until almost 2011. Then Sirius was head administrator until 2012, which is when I took over.

Cobra also owns the bitcointalk.org domain name. I consider the forum to be basically owned by or at least dedicated to the Bitcoin community, though; I don't call anyone an owner of the forum.

“database was moved to bitcointalk.org by theymos”? I doubt this...

There was a period where both Sirius and I were active administrators. For convenience, I reckon Jan 1, 2012 as when I became head administrator, though it was actually a gradual transition starting before and ending after that.

Who’s the founder of the Bitcointalk.org?
