He's one of the reasons I left Twitter. I agree with everything you say about him. I can add a few things:
  • He thinks all the Bitcoin affinity scams (Stacks, etc) are a way to scale Bitcoin. He has a very weak definition of what is an L2.
  • He does not want to call out scammers such as British Hold.
  • He is a fiat maximalist.
To be fair, with experience, he might come around on the L2s. But for now, he sounds like the typical guy who just found out about Bitcoin, beyond the investment narrative, and thinks he will solve the scaling issues with the first idea that comes to his head, not realizing that brighter and more technical people have been thinking about this for more than a decade. It is not an easy problem, and every solution comes with compromises on what Bitcoin currently stands for.

Check for tweets by @ShireH0DL. Can't link directly to specific tweets as I don't want to reactivate my account.
I don't believe he changed his ways.
You can give him the benefit of the doubt of course.
