Popescu is like the ur-bitcoiner, and by extension the ur-kleptocurrency scumbag. He's one of the handful of people who have (or in his case, had) quite a bit of influence over the perpetual number go up movement of the market cap due to being one of the very earliest large hoarders of coins at penny prices, and a complete Kool-Aid drinking Central bank/central government hating misanthropic troll.

Although I will say in his direct company, he was fairly well-mannered and clearly had a curious mind but one warped by what must have been some sort of Trisomy on the asshole gene.

That article was lifted directly from his blog which, I'm not sure may still be active even now, that contain much of his musings on that same topic as well as lots of others, all as reprehensible and in my view absolutely would have entitled him to an early death - assuming he didn't fake it.

Sierpinski scheme, hah! Now I really want to somehow tie that end with Zooko's triangle. Reminds me of the guy who made a guide to "writing your first ethereum contract in Pyramid Scheme" oh another variation just occured to me: Fractal Fraud
