Bitcoin maximalist Max Keiser has initiated a debate on Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper with the author of the iconic book “Black Swan” – trader, risk management expert and modern philosopher Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
The latter has cited the original Bitcoin white paper, stating that those who he calls “Bitdiots” are misinterpreting the original idea of Satoshi Nakamoto regarding Bitcoin.
“The white paper presents a different view on Bitcoin than what “Bitdiots” hold”
Nassim Taleb took to Twitter to comment that in his view, the original Bitcoin white paper published by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008-2009 describes Bitcoin differently to the view the Bitcoin community has been spreading in the past few years.
In particular, the author of “Black Swan” and “Antifragile” says that, according to the white paper, Bitcoin was meant to be a merely “electronic cash” that works without the support or interference of centralized third parties.
