I read his books. I went deep because he went deep.\n\nToday, he supports spam on Bitcoin.\n\nI didn't know about his 2018 'Mastering Ethereum' book until today. \n\nUntil today, he was still a hero.\n\nAndreas taught me that Bitcoin works because YOU can run a node and decide what goes in it.\n\nNow he’s backing something that is making this hard.\n\nThe lesson he taught me, verify everything, truly means verify everything. Even him.\n\nThe people who bring you into Bitcoin aren’t Bitcoin. The protocol is.\n\nAnd the protocol doesn’t care about your heroes.\n\nMaybe I won’t kill my hero today, but I’ll learn from him twice…\n\nWhen he’s right, and when he’s wrong."}
