A comment on Bitcoin security model: trust by computation. Parent comment

You're missing the now-deleted context, which is him accusing me of talking my book because Stripe. I was pointing out that, if anything, my book would be in the other direction.

I'm still flummoxed that people keep thinking I'm part of the Global Banking Conspiracy rather than, say, a geek who makes a living on the Internet who came to his own conclusion.

No... my comment was incidental to the identity mix-up. I'm just genuinely curious how any bootstrapping entrepreneur can be negative about bitcoin while still aware of how difficult and expensive it is to accept digital payments.

You know as well as any of us that criticism of your Bitcoin tirades (in general and in this thread) does not come from people who think this.
