Too bad he's a shitcoiner. Though he's been a bitcoiner for much longer. His book was one of the first I read.

I think Bob did a show with Roger Ver and Bob seemed convinced by some of the arguments for BCH. But to be fair he had Stephan Livera come on after and offer the rebuttal case for Bitcoin and to me, seemed like he understood those points as well....

Was it actually with Ver? I remember he had Stephen Patterson on to sort of give Roger's side of the argument.

He does work for an insurance company that uses "blockchain" that has a token. He's explained the logic on their podcast in the past.
Not talking about BCH

Oh, I didn't even know where he was working now. He seems to change jobs frequently.

Yikes, that doesn't look good on the surface.
Smart contracts, in particular, are something that seems less impressive the more I've learned about them.
