I am willing to accept I'm wrong but I just don't think I am.

For me he is advocating for NgU over freedoms. Btc can be a borderless, p2p payment protocol which has the ability to afford the unbanned financial freedom. Ssylor is pushing store of value, regularioted by tadfi. He wants to keep the dollar which is a weapon. Demonstrated brilliantly by the current WH regime.

So, wittingly or not, he is fighting for the establishment. An establishment that he is already an elete member of. He deserves no more than anyone else and, in my opinion, should not be looked up to. Figuratively speaking
