I 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
I do not mind what other people's thought about Bitcoin. Everyone has their own belief, if we let ourselves got affected by other people's belief, it will be hard for us to live in peace since we have to adjust and react to what they are thinking. My thought about Bitcoin is established and was already proven for years, so this kind of statement does not affect me much.
So, if the Linux inventor says he does not believe in crypto then let him be, if ever, he will be the one missing out on the great opportunity Bitcoin brings.
If Bitcoin being a free market is a Ponzi scheme, what about those assets controlled and manipulated by larger companies and institutions?
