Adam Back doesn't understand Bitcoin. Insane but true.

I think he might have been captured by the Feds after creating POW and Hashcash.
If you read the emails, Adam basically tried to “son” Satoshi.
He didn’t read Satoshis whitepaper and brushed him off and told him to check out Wei Dai’s B Money
I like and admire Adam and the work he has done but just listening to him speak almost sounds like he has been castrated
I think rather he's just philosophically captured, like most Brits are. Not captured directly by the state, that's Peter Tard.
Nobody does tbh.
Nobody fully understands all of the particulars. But some pretend to. The people who understand the best are the ones who understand that they don't understand.
At least I embrace my retardation. We are all of us profoundly retarded in various ways. Limited in our abilities and our ascertainment of knowledge. But you still won't own up to your intellectual dishonesty, and to YOUR blind spots. Your limitations. You think you know well enough to think on behalf of everyone who runs Core. That is socialism. One of us is honest, the other willfully ignorant and subversive. So GFY.
