To be honest I've long since forgotten where Mike Hearn stands within the crazy world of intra-BTC rivalries (Ver was behind "Bitcoin Cash" which is an offshoot) but I knew from the get-go that the facts, such as they are, in the Nix debate don't matter.

(also Wondermark is great in general)

LOL @ Calvin Ayre noping out. Look forward to dangling in the breeze, CSW

I think we need a limey’s take on whether this is legit or simply cultural appropriation.

Acausal trade with the robot god. Obviously it lost a lot of dough trusting in tethers.
