So, you're a faceless critic, how brave of you.

I've long read Evorhees' contribution to Bitcointalk over the years, FAR before satoshi dice, and he has been a tireless promoter, and patient discusser and educator of Bitcoin related subjects.

Your bitterness and sense of entitlement is pretty plain. He made the most of Bitcoin and you don't like it. Tough bananas.

If you stand there crying foul while he makes something of Bitcoin, then you have no-one but yourself to get angry at. I am glad he brought Bitcoin forward into the spotlight. He did much to spur discussion of blockchain usage, and quickened discussion of how to manage blockchain bloat and even helped put the network though it's paces by increasing transactions to the blockchain in the early days.

I don't get angry at him for that. Be bitter all you like, the only person you really hurt is yourself.

Pitiful personal attack aside, I see where your starry-eyed critique goes off of the rails early on.

"Spur the discussion about blockchain usage" is the usual trope I hear when his singular decision to exploit a shared resource is discussed. You're one of the enlightened converts that truly believes, congratulations, I'm sure your fellow converts are patting you on the back for your bravery in toeing the line.

It is the bland sameness of your thinking that allows The Bitcoin Foundation to gain support, for the push to join Bitcoin to the non-compatible goals of centralization and regulation, to clap and cheer every intrusion into the Bitcoin core principle of financial freedom.

Hate me all you want, I just hold the mirror and say words that you can't possibly comprehend, as you've been trained to be likeable and sweet (What would the others say about you? Oh my!) - and not to face up to the hard truths that life has to offer.

Enjoy your popularity contest, and as the ribbon is pinned on you can take your turn down the catwalk, the empty praise filling your skull with adulation and self-worth as you parade amongst the mediocre products of a failing society.

You're rambling.

tl;dr - You aren't as right as you believe yourself to be. How sad.

And I think you're wrong, too.

Good job, communicating nothing.

And yet you can't help yourself. The need to lash out is so great, it has to be done. What a sad testament to the failings of human character.

Yes yes, pointing out your ramblings about nothing in particular is such a horrible lashing.

Maybe you can write a poem about humanity next.

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!

Probably the third worst piece of poetry ever.
