a true storage gourmet

Speaking of which, a lot of people here might not know of the accomplishments of Joe Breher. They see his Picnic Bear avatar and think of him as a grammar/spelling-obsessed grinch.

In the world of data storage he was a hero, developer of many systems, storage engineer extraordinaire.

I respect jbreher, and don't doubt (although I do not know the specifics of) his achievements, and I'm similarly obsessed with spelling/grammar (I consider this a positive trait).

However, in my opinion, he was wrong about strongly supporting BCH (Bitcoin Cash, a.k.a. Bcash LOL) and the big-blocker camp, back in 2017. Had I followed his advice, my stash would now be several Bitcoins smaller. I'm so very glad I did not!

You're right. I edited my post to replace "grinch" with "big blocker".

I think he mainly stayed in real Bitcoin though. On his Linkedin page he describes himself as retired but busy with "investment managing".

I guess that's what the Wall Observer is all about: investment managing... managing to have the balls to keep hodling. Cool
