I am shocked that he escalated this quickly! But I hope knots is dead now. But maybe some of the energy and sentiment can go into some other bitcoin implementation. Competition is good, but the craziness is bad... I have been wondering over the last few days whether all this is an orchestrated FUD attack a la the SCO thing for Linux. Someone paying a few people on both sides to stir up shit. To make Bitcoin seem like a bad investment.

Of course, you should probably also consider that it just might be the 'journalist' who is the source of insanity.

You chose to create news rather than report news. Understandable given the incentive to drive attention, but not really a best practice for journalism. More specifically, you chose to interpret Google's (admittedly poorly worded) policy without actually doing the legwork of asking them first. Next, your article claimed self custody apps were being banned while providing zero actual examples. As a self custody app publisher who pushes builds every few days, Casa is keenly aware of policy changes and we knew that no such interpretation was being applied upon us. Your fearmongering caused some of our clients to freak out and flood our support team, questioning if Casa's app was going to abruptly disappear. It's commendable that you got Google to clarify their policy. But I dare say it could have been achieved without the stress and drama.

TLDR Ad hominem attacks are best kept to a few bad words or a clever quip.

Jameson and many others sharing the article with a sentence or two implying its authenticity are complete hypocrites. One day advocating for nostr due to cryptographucally signed messages being the only way to verify authenticity of someones posts, the next day... this. They have no way to verifiy the authenticity. They do this because they are dishonest. They know they have no way to verify it.
