Hated Personalities in the World of Bitcoin

[bounceback]

craig wright he is truly a shameless fraud even though many of the exchanges who hate the presence of craig wrigth like changpeng zhao binace exchange are very angry with craig wrigth and binace exchange once also call it fraud, and if indeed craig wrigth is satoshi it must be able to prove their identity and now their binace exchange has decided to remove bitcoin SV (BSV) from the list of traded cryptos because of the controversy with craig wrigth.

While the question has already answered and spams will come to rescue for sure I like to add those “personalities that hates Bitcoin” but with a “Passion” instead so the reversal is indeed and to add healthy conversation to his topic
These are the three of them

David Gerard -hatred for bitcoin is Biblical

Nouriel Roubini - Dr.Doom is the Poster Boy for Bitcoin Hating

Paul Krugman

If you take more radical Bitcoiners, aka Bitcoin maximalists, then any prominent altcoiner is hated by them, unless they support Bitcoin (like Charlie Lee or Fluffypony). If a person talks shit about Bitcoin just to promote their own coin as a "better solution", if they spew technobabble and make grandiose claims without showing any real results, then it's well justified, and on practice this is quite often the case. Those things are a sure sign that the person is dishonest and only wants to enrich themselves at the cost of their "community", rather than actually being passionate about the software.

You can't talk about the most disliked personality in the cryptocurrency industry without calling John McAfee. And the good thing is that he seems to enjoy it.
He is a businessman who knows how to hype a business for personal gain and I think almost all business person do this but just don't overdo it.
Looking at it in another perspective, the more you hate him, the more followers he has.

There are a lot of personalities hated here in the bitcoin community so I would like to add this guys too :

BigVern - The CEO of Cryptsy who put out an exit-scam of the exchange leaving with millions of coins worth millions of $

Mark Karpelès - Who is hiding in Japan after he scammed all of his user on MTGOX EXCHANGE

Rob Dawson- CEO of Cryptopia who had the same fate as cryptsy and mtgox

David Gerard - Best known for his blog “Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain,” Gerard’s work can also be found on sites like Foreign Policy, where he crafts such impartisan articles as “Forget Bitcoin, Try Your Mattress – Cryptocurrency is about as safe as keeping your money in a sock under someone else’s bed.”

Nouriel Roubini and Paul Krugman

In every industry or market, there will always be people whom many loves and many hates. And in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, there is no exemption here. While hating is not a good business, expressing some dislike can be a healthy one.

As far as being hated, I can think of at least two personalities, and we know why many don't like them: Roger Ver the man behind BitcoinCash and of course Craig Wright who earned the moniker as "faketoshi" as he is continually claiming to be the real guy and behind the Bitcoin SV (the original Bitcoin, according to its site).

Can you add more, please.

Not all the time, these two business tycoons aren't just doing these things for them, they are coordinating with some famous cryptocurrency individuals who backed them up to proved their existence and identity. Craig Wright might not be the creator of bitcoin, but he knows allot about it, he and his team made the bitcoin SV. For me, knowing who the creator of bitcoin is doesn't really help that much. What we need is to appreciate this creation and worry less about these people.

I would add Warren Buffett to this list, a man who is highly respected in the business world for the enormous wealth he has earned during his life. But he has always had a very negative opinion of Bitcoin, and he never hesitated to say it publicly.

nah, nobody really hates buffett. they just think he's an old fart who's stuck in his ways---a dinosaur. not in the same league as figures like craig wright and roger ver who have engaged in some really immoral and fraudulent acts at the expense of bitcoiners, especially noobs.

The biggest villain in the cryptocurrency world is for sure Craig Wright, he is such a cancerous person and doesn't feel ashame of himself trying to claim the position of being the owner and dear creator of bitcoin, such greediness.

He's a cocksuckerprickmotherfucker but what actual harm has he done compared to others? He has a hand in an irrelevant fork of an irrelevant fork. He makes plenty of noise. I haven't detected many actual effects.

we can't know the true effects---we don't know how many noobs (or even old timers) he's fooled into buying BSV with his "i am satoshi, bitcoin is BSV" routine. he and his ilk have undoubtedly sold heavily into the pumps at their expense.

pumping and dumping altcoins is grimy enough. the level of deception he's employed is much worse. not to mention shit like this, suing anyone who criticizes him: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-bitcoin-craig-wright-20190620-story.html

When you mention these, McAfee is probably one of the most prominent figures. Lots of scammy projects use his name with his consent (maybe he get millions of tokens for that) and encourage his follower to buy and pump it.

A few months later, the tokens are dead.

Mcafee can be added but the guy is very bullish on Bitcoin and has a strong belief that Bitcoin will reach 1 million, nobody here thought of that only him, we should praise him just for this, Craig Wright is the most hated for committing the grave sin of claiming to be Satoshi, but the community is wiser to believe that he is, because he cannot do the simple thing of opening the wallet that Nakamoto own.

But he has always had a very negative opinion of Bitcoin, and he never hesitated to say it publicly. Although I respect every man's right to his opinion, I think he has done a great deal of damage to Bitcoin with his statements.

Roger&Faketoshi are certainly two characters who are highest on the list of hated people, without any doubt for very good reasons.

That of Warren buffett is quite understandable. The crypto market is not one of the brightest in the world. When one critically looks at the high number of exit scams, dead altcoins and valueless proposition projects then Warren's reasons are not far fetched. But for Roger ver and Craig Wright, Theirs isn't. They're are constantly trying to divide the crypto community. They even went as far as pushing for a fork. Now they didn't stop at forking, they went on to cause more controversies. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a fan of either but I do respect whatever opinions and theories they might have.

[Genemind]

Craig is actually one of the most hated yet still has the guts to show off in different crypto conference. There are still people who are claiming to be the fake Satoshi but still got nothing but hatred from people. Mcafee is also known to be one of the most hated figures in the crypto industry. He has done lots of scam projects which ruined his own reputation.

Gerald Cotten, the director and owner of the Quadriga CX exchange, took millions of dollars of other people's money with him to the grave. He turned out to be a fraudster and a deceiver whom deceived users hate even now a year after his death

[vladimirhf]

I think we can see already that Craig Wright is an unanimous choice  

but who remember this guy? lol



"Carlos Matos from New York City New York..."  

one of the greatest scammers of all time

[sureshverma]

Craig is definitely the number one hateful personality

You just made me laugh and well "cry" all because your post made my memories with Bitconnect come back. I was actually one of the people who believed and supported Bitconnect and though overall I never lost money with that program it still pained to see it go leaving many victims with nothing but empty bags of promises. It was a little bit of an advanced ponzi scheme that uses its own cryptocurrency to pumped up things. Up to now, I still do not know for sure the very people who started Bitconnect though I heard that some arrests have been made. With the program has no faces of people identified as the leaders,  Carlos Matos from New York became its meme symbol. Months ago, there was a report that BCC is coming back but of course nobody doesn't want to be fooled again...no matter if they promised the whole heaven and Earth.

"Carlos Matos from New York City New York..."

The funnny thing is I've hardly ever heard anyone say anything negative about him. I guess he's so ludicrous it's kind of hard to and he himself was a victim too, or so he claims.

It's the other slimy fucking creeps pushing it on youtube who should attract everyone's ire. It looks like the law may well catch up with them.

Lol who can forget this asshole ?after scamming the largest amount crypto ever has recorded .and everytime that this flashes our mind nothing’s come but sadness and anger ,but life moves on and we don’t have to stop from that
So I made my vote and that’s Carlos Matos for me is the hated personality in bitcoin world

[jostorres]

I think Craig wright alone has made up the hatred that we will ever have for 10 people and I think this guy is still the most hated person to me. Sometimes, if I even see him, he irritates me a lot because I think that he is just a fool in adult’s cloth because no sensible person will just wake up and start claiming what he knows that people are not fool to verify.

Does he really want us to just start believing that he is the real satoshi when he does not have any special magic to hypnotize the whole of the cryptocurrency users? Most people that are quite involved in cryptocurrency right now are people that are very wise and highly intelligent which I know they will never ever just take a word like that without strictly verifying the truthfulness in it.
