No, sir. I turned his "preferred solution to the problems created by cryptocurrencies is to treat them all like child pornography: totally illegal, possession a strict liability offense, choke off interoperability with real currencies at the credit agency/bank interchange level, and make them useless for non-criminals, at which point only criminals will bother with them. And India is going down this route"

into that. Despising Libertarianism is merely co-occurrent, proceeding from the same philosophies.

Yeah, well, that's even more stupid. Because if one is convinced that they are as bad as child porn -- a perhaps somewhat exaggerated view IMO, but not at all outlandish -- that's the only sensible stance to take. So, you turned an arguably reasonable stance into whatever libertarians want to rant against today. That, OTOH, is definitely not reasonable.
