Interesting take that a lot of bright minds are being stolen from us due to the allure of riches via crypto malware. But I'm hard pressed to assume that they would have stayed on the virtuous side of things in the absence of crypto. Then again, being well versed in cryptography/blockchain/etc isn't something any person can learn quickly and easily.

I also use the skillset to build Bitcoin as a way to pinpoint who Satoshi is/was. It had to be 1 of those small finite # of people who were able to build such software around mid-2008.

Lightly relevant quote from Albert Einstein, "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."
