You've figured it out.

I try and take the politics out of things and just look at the technology and the facts. The fact is that BTC is not really a crypto CURRENCY any more and I can't for the life of me figure out why high fees is a GOOD thing. Sounds like the spin-doctors are in the house to me. If I want a store of wealth then I'll use gold and silver. BTC is in danger of making itself redundant. Positioning as a store of wealth with no intrinsic value or asset backing is a recipe for disaster IMHO.

As for Roger Ver, it's hard to tell if he is just talking the talk but I do like a lot of what he has to say. He certainly talks about Libertarian ideals that resonate with me, but there are a lot of people who hate him vehemently.
