You might be right, but you’re guessing. I’m pretty pro-crypto. I’m an anarchist. I am generally oriented towards non-governmental solutions to everything, including violence.
But even me, even with that bias, I still worry quite often about what evil can lurk behind cryptographic structures, and what effect wide availability of strong crypto will have on that.
I don’t know that it will be positive or negative... my gut says positive, but I worry. And so it’s not crazy to me to think Ozzie might be legitimately worried about people’s safety.

Do you personally know him or is this just speculation ?
Because most entrepreneurs aren't running businesses primarily for the money.
