It's impressive how bearish he is on Bitcoin. His criticism of it suggests he isn't very well educated on it; it lacks any real substance. Strangely he seems very well-versed in the history of the space though.
If you can imagine being someone who holds a bunch of gold, it's easy to see how you might be conflicted into Bitcoin bearishness. I hadn't even heard of Global Standard until reading this article - which was published early in 2020. It's sad he's so bullish on his own work and he'll likely blame The Bitcoin Distraction for its failure.
reading between the lines p thiel said he may met SN at the e-gold launch on the beach.
