I was reading Saifedean's book and saw "Mircea Popescu" mentioned.. any info on this person?


I've read Saifedean's book and researched a bit who were the people thanked. I haven't found much on this person, other than some links of how he promotes rape and sent death treats to Andreas A and Pieter Wuille, which doesn't sound too good for starters. I did also read he runs some sort of exchange and had problems with the SEC but basically told them to leave and got away with it. Was also related to some betting websites, and he and other people run a Bitcoin client which they call the "reference implementation" and basically try to keep it as basic as possible, which seems like a good idea that someone is doing this (for instance the "inflation bug" on Core that the BCash developer found, I think didn't affect their client). Im not sure if their software has suffered from other problems, then again, barely no one uses it, so it's not as exposed as Core, but nonetheless, that someone keeps a really basic version is a good idea.Other interesting things I've found is how Luke and Gavin asked him and their group if they were ok with their fork proposal, so he must have a lot of BTC if they did bother asking him to get on board with a potential fork back then. Looks like he has a blog and I've been reading. It's a bit of a word salad headache, but if I got it right, he has mass enslavement-genocidal plans, and setting up a feudal system on BTC in which people that don't meet a certain level of IQ are sold, raped, killed.... basically, not considered human if they don't pass some sort of test. He would be the "king of Bitcoin" as he controls 51%+ of the BTC supply, thus he is the one "pulling the strings". Unless he's a troll and likes to play this villain persona, from what I've read he's defending rape, sending death treats over not agreeing with something, mass genocidal plans unless you can pass a fucking test... this guy must be fun at parties. Im just wondering, is this guy a great guy in person and he is just having a laugh with this thus why Saifedean decided to publicly thank him, or he's really fucked up in the head and seriously wants to enslave the entire fucking species because he didn't get enough hugs as a kid? Jesus, this is enough internet for today, im out. via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/2QhElVj
