I read his books. I went deep because he went deep.&#xA;&#xA;Today, he supports spam on Bitcoin.&#xA;&#xA;I didn&#39;t know about his 2018 &#39;Mastering Ethereum&#39; book until today. &#xA;&#xA;Until today, he was still a hero.&#xA;&#xA;Andreas taught me that Bitcoin works because YOU can run a node and decide what goes in it.&#xA;&#xA;Now he’s backing something that is making this hard.&#xA;&#xA;The lesson he taught me, verify everything, truly means verify everything. Even him.&#xA;&#xA;The people who bring you into Bitcoin aren’t Bitcoin. The protocol is.&#xA;&#xA;And the protocol doesn’t care about your heroes.&#xA;&#xA;Maybe I won’t kill my hero today, but I’ll learn from him twice…&#xA;&#xA;When he’s right, and when he’s wrong.</html></oembed>
