He had an interesting personality and blog. I love how he pwned Fetlife by letting anyone scrape the user list and search by criteria.

Indeed, there are those who believe Popescu should have no recognition at all in passing due to his long and demonstrated use of hateful language.

Yet another instance of antimeritocracy. Silly SJWs.

Holy shit, I was in Trilemma for about a week, I knew this guy!

A well-written article. Seems Popescu will be remembered for original contributions to bitcoin developments, especially contrasted with the quality of his character, which is perhaps appropriate for someone devoted to manipulating people into insecure investments that he could short at the optimum time.
