Yep, also very compelling. Our stuff builds another brick in the wall, next to analysis such as you posted.

Szabo is also FAR too content to shill for bitcoin and ether, instead of starting another crypto to take advantage of his own extensive knowledge on the subject. Normal human nature would have him quickly seizing on the opportunity at SOME point in the past 7 years; additionally, like Finney he SHOULD have been an early transactor in the process, in terms of mining or other forms of taking advantage of bitcoin. No one on earth had a longer view of this crypto-currency stuff than Szabo, it's virtually impossible to believe he got left behind. So again, where's the questions dropped on him, about how much bitcoin or ether he owns? If he says nothing on record, one has to assume he owns a lot, no?
