Who is this guy, depicted as "original bitcoin source code co-author" I've never heard of before?

Also, he's working on "coin validation", the technology to rip off the fungibility part to Bitcoin.

Finally, someone who has the balls to say the truth, a lot of Bitcoin's problems have been because of companies, not the code itself.

I fully support blaming gox. Especially when this issue was already known and they were told about it.

kraken had no problems as far as i know...so they did their homework.

Most exchanges didn't, and this could've all been solved had goxed rather just solved their problems than panicking everyone.

The article is right! Bitcoin is decentralized and open source, there is no "leader", if you want to use it it is your responsability. But ehy, they only cared about profit.
