Yes that includes "bitcoin"The 54-year-old computer scientist slammed the newfangled asset class as a "great vehicle for scams." He also went on to mention that cryptocurrencies function as a typical Ponzi scheme that aims to find "the next sucker holding the bag."
https://u.today/linux-inventor-says-he-doesnt-believe-in-cryptoI know that many bitcoin enthusiasts are big Linux advocates. In order to stay consistent maybe they need to switch operating systems. That's what I would do
This is the kind of dumb thinking that is way too prevalent in society.
Why in the world would anyone switch away from Linux just because Linux Torvalds thinks Bitcoin is a scam??
Just like why would anyone decide to vote for corrupt idiot treasonous criminal Trump just because he's trying to con dumb bitcoiners into voting for him??
Ya'll should really have stronger values than "oh no someone doesn't like bitcoin let's stay away from anything they've ever done" or "oh wow someone is saying they like bitcoin let's pretend they are a hero and ignore everything else about them."
There is a very good reason why Linux is liked and used widely, and it has nothing to do with Linux Torvalds' opinions on anything.
