This was an ironic statement from someone that admitted that his pledge indeed convinced some people that had been on the fence about bitcoin to finally buy some bitcoin by shouting “it worked”, and in another sentence, claiming that anyone that believed his pledge would have to be incredibly stupid.

Yes ….. Mighty Ming and Magnificent Ivan learnt a hell of a lot from that early remote version of virtual command and control …. the iron hand for wielding at the touch of a velvet gloved finger, nowadays defaulted to the click of mice.

……….. and that is surely bound to be extremely problematical. Of that you can be assured/reassured and/or suitably terrified and flabbergasted.
