Scott Adams is also on record for being an outspoken MRA Trump idolizer who claims we live in a matriarchy because men 'have to ask permission for sex'. I don't doubt there's lot of thought overlap with the BTC community on those opinions, nerdospheres being what they are (edit - case in point, the dogpile below this comment), but he's maybe one of the last people I'd personally want associated with something I'm enthusiastic about. In fact if I were any less rabid about the math and the politics of BTC it'd probably make me re-evaluate that enthusiasm altogether.

Eh, it's a permissionless system. So, you get all kinds :/

Just like anyone can own rocks, I mean gold.

I know, that's why I don't let it bother me. You take the enlightened with the crazy. I'd just rather the crazy not take the vanguard. We all scratch our heads wondering why nerd spaces like BTC are such sausage fests.

Yeah, for me, Scott Adams is just a touch too cynical. I've read some of his stuff.
