You should embrace enemies you like, respect, and make you laugh.

FT is "the enemy" if you wish (radfi, anti-bitcoin, lefty/Keynesian economists, pretty asinine coverage...)

Hearing once again that a media organisation was claiming to have doxxed the person who spawned a multi-hundred-dollar speculative reporting industry had aroused in us a mixture of weariness and weariness. Which fiftysomething male fringe academic would it be this time?

The Japanese one? The other Japanese one? The drug dealer? The dead one or the other dead one? The one with a beard, or the one without a beard, or the other one with a beard, or the other one without a beard? The liar? The other liar? Or maybe it was a hive mind of these and other fiftysomething male fringe academics, such as this one, or this one?

The evangelists short-circuited all this stuff by moving long ago to unite under the collective notion of “We Are All Satoshi”. When even the bitcoin enthusiasts can spot a time sink, maybe we should be doing the same.
