I've been involved in bitcoin since 2010. (1) Not once have I ever encountered someone who knew what they were talking about and yet spelled it BitCoin. (2) Every time I've encountered "BitCoin" the author had a truly dismal understanding of the bitcoin protocol or incentive structure.

Shibboleths are annoying, but they do serve as pretty accurate heuristics for assessing someone's familiarity with a domain, as in this particular case.

The author lays out some pretty straight forward points, though. The fact that no one bothers to rebut them but instead focus on OPs credentials is quite telling of the typical crypto-bro-hype that dismisses all criticisms...

Every single one of his points are against strawmwn arguments. The involved botcoiners I know talk about fixed supply, programmable money being inherently volatile and carry the extreme added risk of self-custody. There’s nothing new here.
