hah "loveable rascal" is quite accurate! we are blessed to have this man and his service. i feel he will continue to enjoy his fame from a distance in the low key hermitude sort of way he prefers. i can relate. and very much agree that he rambles and mixes his personal speculations in with what can be referenced in his mature data. but what i'm pointing out is that he is privy to this data in ways we will never be, living and breathing projections for years. this will affect his ramblings no matter what.
for example, his comments on Steem may be related to one of his projections; that almost none of the altcoins "have legs" compared to bitcoin. i myself am not even sure how to incorporate this info, since clearly there is profit to be made in the near future on alts and he promotes this as well. it's common in his info to find things that seem almost contradictory until you have all the details fitting together nicely.
