Story time. My encounter with Bitcoin OG, privacy extremist, and defector Amir Taaki:

- "Hey Amir. I work on a Chaumian Ecash system for Bitcoin and I thought you might like it"
- "Ecash on Bitcoin? Well, good luck with THAT!"
- "Why? It's actually going pretty well."
- "Bitcoiners are all ret****d. All they know is HU HU - HODL (imitates cavemen sounds)"
- "Ok boomer. Let's talk about cryptography now."

Some of the old guard has no idea what's going on these days.
