who is Nassim
Sorry, here you go:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassim_talebHe wrote the bestseller "The Black Swan" (no, not the Natalie Portman one) and is a former "Big Shot" Wall St. derivatives trader turned hedge fund manager turned finance professor/philosopher.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no other public intellectual who I would rather see making a positive comment about Bitcoin.
Exactly, I'm sure he is the greatest thinker of our time. By reading his books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan I took his advice to look out for positive black swans and although I only found out about Bitcoin a few months ago, it was an easy decision for me to go all-in.
