Hi Tuur and thanks for the AMA,

Would you have advised Bitcoin as you did, back in the day, if you had the cautionnary mindset you seem to have today with respect to fungibility issues?

Hi Tuur,

Excellent report!

In the report you said, "There are four prominent risks associated with Bitcoin" and the fourth risk you list as, "a sustained attack by an organization with substantial financial resources (such as a government)."

Hey Tuur,

I guess you will be more happy than others with the the question since you are first an investor.

I was re-reading Antifragile by iconoclast thinker Nassim Taleb recently. He writes "Never ask anyone for their opinion [...] Just ask them what they have -or don't have- in their portfolio ...

Hi Tuur!

I want to ask you something regarding your recent tweet on sidechains and privacy -> https://twitter.com/TuurDemeester/status/654236580463382528

In that tweet, you state that you expect "blockstream's Liquid sidechain to prove that Bitcoin is a privacy friendly ecosystem".
