I liked the article and especially his perspective of "the first civil war in a digital nation".
His complaint about neither book mentioning ZK-SNARK is understandable but since Bitcoin doesn't have gas, introducing resourse-hungry opcodes like OP_ZKSNARKVERIFY are not practical. That said, I do hope that similar functionality can be achieved with either OP_CAT or various BitVMs.
I wonder though why his article on civil wars in digital nations never mentions ETC.

It's fascinating how both sides argue for decentralization but from different angles. Bier's view on ZK-SNARKs makes sense given Bitcoin's limitations. Curious omission of ETC in the civil war discussion though!
