RE: Lessons from the Libertarian In-fighting
Yeah I felt sorry for the way Sussane got raked through the coals when she first launched the crowdfunding round. She did not have a trusted way to collect funds (a multi sig wallet) and some lawyer really attacked her for it on 'Let's Talk Bitcoin' for that fact. So right out of the box she was slammed and really accused of being dishonest. All for something that at the time she clearly did not understand was demanded by crypto investors. So there was that, then there are libertarians that simply do not want identity and reputation on a blockchain. So these people attacked her. Than there is a certain amount of competition too. People criticize eachother's projects instead of working together like Peter Thiel advocates in 'Zero to One'.
Yeah I remember, there was even a group of people that was very angry. She's doing fine now, they raised the funds, hope they help people.
I always hope for projects like that to succeed.
And you're right, many libertarians didn't want their identities on the blockchain. In fact I know several that were totally against bitcoin for a while.
I totally agree, a better use of time would be to work together, there's always work to be done.
And now I'm gonna by a book from Amazon ;) Thanks for the reminder, I haven't read it yet.
