Exactly. I was actually thinking about making another post addressing his current feelings, but your reply is what I wanted to talk about. It reminds me of Taleb removing the forward to The Bitcoin Standard because he and his fellow countryman got into a pissing contest about covid. Then @denlillaapan recently reviewed A Progressive's Case For Bitcoin (#1574659) Maybe Stross should read that book. His criticisms of bitcoin are the same nonsense still spouted by Elizabeth Warren and her crew. Stross is better than that.

It's a shame TPB, the Progressive Bitcoiner closed with dismay.

hmm it's unfortunate that people draw these political associations and that makes them either like or not like a thing
It kinda disturbs me how people talk about how "this thing is right coded" or "that thing is left coded" to determine how they should feel about it
Overall, he acknowledged that bitcoin has some interesting properties so why can't his attitude be more like "interesting let's see where this heads" instead of "I want it to die in a fire"
