So you admit technical points were made, and this debate is not about people getting butt-hurt over candy bars.
As I said, the 'technical points' of the article struck me as largely bunk.
My comment about butt-hurt was related to years of observation on this forum. It remains the most powerful explanation of the driving force for garden variety minions, but these minions are animated (unconsciously or otherwise) by people who see a threat in the aspects of Bitcoin which I personally consider to be liberating.
I welcome competition while those who have a monopoly in other financial instruments see it as a significant threat. My biggest mis-calculation so far has been in predicting the likely form of attack from corp/gov. I didn't expect them to be so shrewd in their attack. Chuck Schumer's strategy was the one I anticipated taking hold and it was kind of a surprise when he was told to put a sock in it and let the professionals handle this.
