He's well known in the gold bug circuit. He told me he was DCAing 4BTC per week at one point, but has since sold all his BTC for HBAR. I didn't know much about hashgraph so I looked into it. It's not a blockchain, runs PoS on 39 permissoned nodes that are run by some of the largest companies on earth. I asked him how he made the leap from BTC to that as a gold and silver guy. He started pulling out Roger Ver arguments, all of which were either misquoted or flat out incorrect. He told me to read his book. I told him I was well aware of Roger and that I thought he was a charlatan. I also told him that HBAR is basically a CBDC and that he needs to be careful talking about it with such a large following. I hit him pretty hard, but I kept it respectful and let him maintain his dignity. I suggested reading The Bitcoin Standard and he may not do that, but I imagine he'll think twice before shilling HBAR or Ver's talking points again. It's wild to see how online narratives play out irl.
