No. I've read his book and listened to a bit of him on YT. His back story checks out but he's a condescending prick. He's no lover of the establishment and I don't think he's a plant, however he says that #Bitcoin is "Bullshit" so for that reason, I don't pay him anymore attention. I did leave a one word answer to a question posed by one of his followers on YT. I can't remember the question word for word but my answer was simply "Bitcoin", I can't wait to revisit it in a decade or so, leaving a further comment "I told you so"🤷🏻‍♂️😬.
