One of the things that annoys me most is that people fall for common logical fallacies such as ad hominem.
Anyone who has the ability to think rationally will not care about the individual but rather the outcome
In politics, people talk about politicians having associations with business and say that this must necessarily be bad. It isn't. As long as the transactions are open there is nothing wrong with a politician who was also a businessman. As long as the bidding process is open, then there is no issue.
In fact, having politicians who are business people used to be the norm and it helps encourage economic reasoning in this group
The same thing occurs in my case and that of others like me.
We can then extend that to false authority, another logical fallacy
People have come to think that individuals are experts merely for longevity in this field. You are never an expert because you've been in the field for a period of time. An expert can develop in a year or may not develop in twenty years. Expertise is not a function of experience alone
Individual such as Antonopoulos or Eric Voorhees are recognised as experts merely because they were around when I launched bitcoin or just afterwards
That's not a foundation of expertise.
Many individuals attack my qualifications - but if you took the time to think about this there is a reason behind those attacks
none of these individuals have qualifications
none of the individuals being referenced as experts in cryptography or cryptographers are qualified in any way as a cryptographer
A cryptographer is not somebody who has worked developing software code.
Although it is possible that a cryptographer good learn to code, it is not essential in any way for a cryptographer to ever code in their life
Not one individual that I've seen referenced as an expert in bitcoin who is noted to be a cryptographer is qualified to be in an introductory role as a cryptographer
And I'm not making the statement idly
And community is irrelevant here
There are no community standards of being a cryptographer
Equally, even Hal Finney was not even a computer scientist let alone a cryptographer.
It is true that he had worked in the early days in the PGP Corporation.
He worked for a cryptographer.
He developed code for a cryptography company
But that does not make him either a computer scientist or a cryptographer
Dan Kaminsky has been called a cryptographer. The guy has had no real experience of cryptography anywhere in his life
Adam back is referenced as both an expert in distributed systems and a cryptographer
He has no basis in either field
Both Antonopoulos and Voorhees were practically or already homeless when they came to bitcoin.
Voorhees was to my knowledge living out of the back of his car. Antonopoulos was effectively unemployable. This is why these individuals are making up a false narrative about expertise. This is why I am such a threat to them.
I will graduate with at least three more degrees this year.
on top of that one or two more postgraduate certificates and diplomas
next year I will graduate with another 8 to 10 degrees
