Very interesting. I listened to this and understood it as a critique of inflationary, government-backed fiat, bitcoin as a solution people have found to some of its problems, but one that is still human, and therefore subject to human failings itself. As you say, neither particularly positive or negative about bitcoin - but implicitly critical of fiat, banks and government.
Incidentally, I knew this guy at Cambridge - I studied in the same faculty for 7 years, passing him on a daily or weekly basis in the corridors. When you spend that long around someone, you generally get to know them a little at least, just through repeated incidental contact. It starts with the nod that happens on mutual recognition, perhaps progresses to a passing 'hi', a few words exchanged, maybe the odd longer conversation, and so on.
After 7 years, we weren't even on nodding terms...
