I’ve been of the opinion for some time now that the man absolutely understands Bitcoins value proposition and is essentially a giant troll whose idea of fun is antagonising a large portion of the Bitcoin community. Suffice to say, I think he’s hilarious and I love him. It’s always a little less fun though when the trick is revealed. It was his interview with Nat Burnell that solidified this opinion for me. Still find him funny though.

He has said a great truth, Bitcoin is becoming the new gold and the way to protect against the fallacy of fiat money.

He doesn't say bitcoin is better than analog Gold. That's not what the tweet says...
