I spoke with Jim Rickards at a conference last month, we were both speakers there. He said he's not anti-bitcoin, he just points to the risks. My impression was that he's a pragmatist. I don't know if he's libertarian but I don't think he's a big fan of the state.

so believing in Bitcoin is not being pragmatic? 

that's not right either.

The only thing he does is give arguments why bitcoin is no good. And if he points to nice qualities, it is followed with a 'but'.  

That is being anti bitcoin.

I could not disagree more.  To me being critical is being pro-{whatever}, or is at least a strong part of it.  This means that one has taken enough of an interest to study and consider all aspects of the something.  I've got no use for slavish fan-boys of anything.  I consider some of the harshest critics of the U.S. to be the biggest patriots, for instance.


sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.
