Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Yeah, I also appreciate Bob's response to this. And yours. I think some people can be very complex and eccentric, and still be charismatic and great educators/contributors. Maybe Andreas falls into this category. He may sometimes be stubborn and eccentric and plain weird, but he still can (and does IMHO) contribute to the Bitcoin movement.

Agreed.  His contributions to Bitcoin are super valuable.  And continue to be.  As long as I ignore who he flamboyantly blocks on twitter and for why, I am fine.  That was the bit the sort of surprised me.  He does the cancel-culture thing pretty hard for people who hold different beliefs than him politically.  Obviously there are some assholes on twitter (lol understatement) but it's strange to me that he is able to see so much nuance in some arenas and seemingly so little in others.

Yeah... Why Bob? I think very highly of Andreas and his work on educating the masses about Bitcoin.

He's got too much "paid salesperson" / Ron Popeil type vibe going on now.

Used Bitcoin to prop himself up, with the help of the community, and now he's like a JJG kinda guy who loves sniffing his own farts, and thinks he's too good for anyone who dares disagree with him. Has blocked a whole bunch of luminaries who dared call him out. Painted himself into a corner and did himself no favors. Viewed as a pariah.

Absolute narcissist case gone pathologically wrong. Started off altruistic, but once he got fame/retard-income-stream for a bit there - briefly - went to his head, and turned into an absolute Garbageman.

I belong to the Twitter Toxic Bitcorn Maxi Clan, so, that's where this observation is coming from.

... just to relate my experiences with Andreas, when he first came into Bitcoin he was a quick study, I DMed on here quite a bit with him, he wanted to pick my brains quite a bit actually but I liked his enthusiasm and he said he read all my early posts and liked what I was saying/doing, many of the phrases and concepts he talks about I can just about point to the posts of mine where I first wrote them down ... but there were a few of us were having similar revelations together so I don't want to claim priority in any definitive way

... then he offered to make me co-author on the Mastering Bitcoin O'Reilly book that he was working on which I thought was interesting ... but not interesting enough to work on it, for opsec and other reasons

... after a couple of years went by I met him at a Bitcoin conference where he was by now a minor celebrity, I causally introduced myself expecting a pleasant conversation at least and he treated me like something he found on his shoe ... he may have a messiah complex or some other ego disorder, it's hard to tell, but something is not quite right in Andreasville

That is the reaction of someone, when they meet the person, who their thoughts and ideas have been stolen from...

He was always someone I'd heard mention of but seemed never to hear much of directly other than the occasional tweet posted on the WO thread. For me though, the shine definitely went off when I heard that he had not accumulated any bitcoin over the seven-odd years he had been involved in it (at the time). That just beggars belief.

Nicely done, but someone replied even better:

... utilise stranded gas resources that would be wasted, flared

... act as "excess reserves" to harden and strengthen grid resilience

... unlock stranded renewables on the frontier (for other data center ops or eventual connection to grid - my addition)
