Gavin Andresen Celebrates Competing Bitcoin Implementations

Gavin Andresen urges Bitcoin developers to “know your customer.” And no, he is not talking about regulation.
Mr. Andresen admits he did not always make the right choice during the two years he spent as Bitcoin’s first, and only, developer.

He remembers once asking himself whether or not Bitcoin should be used as a store of value or a means of exchange. “In hindsight, I should have spent more time working on the secure store of value problem; maybe Core would have great support for creating paper wallets and sweeping funds from them if I’d chosen differently.” He has called Bitcoin in the past “cash for the internet.”

Yeah, and maybe Gavin should have had more recognition of scammy characters in the Bitcoin space, too.

It might have prevented his choice to buddy up with Mike Hearn, and to trust Craig Wright.

I'm glad Gavin is fading into the background radiation of Bitcoin. He was a lost soul ever since his CIA meeting. Shame when someone gets leverage over you, the things you're compelled to do.

It seems to me that in the very creation of Bitcoin it was not without CIA intervention. Never such global projects were not without attention of the special services.
