If I can just interject for a moment. Andreas did say that, it's in the first few seconds of the video. Yes I know it's incorrect for several reasons, some of which you already outlined. Yes, our friend here probably should not have stated it as fact without doing a little more research on the subject, but let's just dial it back a notch and educate a Bitcoiner before resorting to anything else.

1. He didn't say such nonsense (even that he's a shitcoiner)
2. Don't repeat like a parrot, even if somebody will say such nonsense, filter with your own brain.
