Edward Snowden has struck me for a very long time as one of the most prominent cases of stopped-clock theory. It doesn't surprise me at all that he's a coiner.

to be fair, he's the guy who had a use case for bitcoin. unfortunately he has also taken leave of his senses because he's technically able but can't see it's a plle of shit.

Regardless of what he did, it was a very annoying way to teach the world that there are these people called systems administrators who have all the access to everything and all the passwords besides. That was a very irritating year at work. "Yes, how did you think I was able to answer all those questions you keep asking," and other replies to questions about access privs.

Obviously it's a cult, but when they use this phrasing, they just give the game away.

I'd argue the guillotine to be far more effective.

Yeah, nah, mate. Bitcoin is at best a lateral move.

The bluecheck reactions to that are quite the collection of insane posts. But even a few bluechecks are disagreeing. 1 2 3

The tech is innovative but the use is criminal.

Have their been any "advances" in monetary technology since the usa was like "btw the whole world is our empire now"?

he might be technically correct, because money is kinda stupid generally.
