I am not sure if I agree with you that rpietila destroyed Monero
It would be better for your own reputation if you did not misquote me, or quote out of context.
Who is confused?
You apparently, because I did not state anything about anyone destroying Monero.
Of course you did. I didn't intend to imply anything about your intended meaning, rather only the possible literal interpretations given the circumstances. Remember my father is an attorney. I suppose I learned it from him.
rpietila doesn't even have access to the repo, nor would he have any idea what to do with it if he did...
He's a user and self-appointed promoter.
If Mark Karpeles shows up here...
P.S. what I am trying to say is that I think rpietila contributed the political and organizational situation we have now, but I don't know if he solely responsible. And IMO the current situation is not so huge of a potential for the long-term (but I guess that could change depending what you guys have coming). Perhaps 'destroyed' is too severe. Better to say 'limited potential'. My personal opinion only subject to change depending on what is discovered and changes.
I think he also contributed politically to some design decisions, such as originally being against perpetual debasement.
You are one strange individual.
