Edward Snowden [blue checkmark] @snowden
Unpopular but true: Bitcoin is the most significant monetary advance since the creation of coinage.If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.
Ed pls.
Reminder that doing something extremely cool and good once doesn't make you immune to posting cringe

Edward Snowden has struck me for a very long time as one of the most prominent cases of stopped-clock theory. It doesn't surprise me at all that he's a coiner.

to be fair, he's the guy who had a use case for bitcoin. unfortunately he has also taken leave of his senses because he's technically able but can't see it's a plle of shit.

Regardless of what he did, it was a very annoying way to teach the world that there are these people called systems administrators who have all the access to everything and all the passwords besides. That was a very irritating year at work. "Yes, how did you think I was able to answer all those questions you keep asking," and other replies to questions about access privs.

Obviously it's a cult, but when they use this phrasing, they just give the game away.

I'd argue the guillotine to be far more effective.

The bluecheck reactions to that are quite the collection of insane posts. But even a few bluechecks are disagreeing. 1 2 3

Yeah, nah, mate. Bitcoin is at best a lateral move.

The tech is innovative but the use is criminal.
