Yep, that's the guy. He did so much and seemed completely unconstrained in terms of where he focused his efforts – all within some of the most constraining organizations (Air Force and Pentagon). Force of nature.

He's an interesting guy. If it's the one I'm remembering he also formulated theories around maneuverability of craft and optimizing aircraft that are still used by Air Force.

I'm reading the biography of John Boyd, the Air Force pilot and military strategist. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyd_(military_strategist). One of his core principles in life was to focus on 'doing things' as opposed to 'being someone'. He was an iconoclast who had zero respect for the inefficiencies and damaging incentives produced by authoritarian bureaucracies.   

He would have loved Bitcoin.
