he's not wrong that the whitepaper is a great idea, but after 2017 the BTC coin no longer reflects what is in that white paper and BTC is not the 'bitcoin P2P e-cash' that was invented hence no one is using it as e-cash (because I can't be that anymore)

A "fun" fact is that ransomware wouldn't exist like it does today if it weren't for crypto.
