Only just noticed that, Stolfi the creep, what's his game? He's just butthurt because he knew about bitcoin for years, didn't invest therefore losing himself a potential fortune & now he wants to fuck everyone else.

I often have asked myself how someone can have so much hate for something with such a passion like Stolfi.
And you could be right.When he knows about Bitcoin since the early years and never had invested any dime, your thoughts would absolutely make sense.
Poor bastard that guy!!!

...half a dozen 'writeoffs' indicating he is a fool having no effect. I think we underestimate him.
I vehemently disagree with nearly all of Stolfi's conclusions, but I disagree his actions have been ineffectual. He already has had an effect. The newest publication by the SEC, its language and questions were steered by his submission - along with the others.
He has spent a few years building credibility as a 'professional Bitcoin opponent'. But why? Everyone has motives for their actions. I always to try find the simplest explanation (which considers ALL available data). Increasingly, it appears his was visibility and exposure, so that when the time came for a surgical strike, i.e. SEC commenting, his comments would not be waved off as the ravings of a lunatic. This is a long term investment, with past efforts now coming to fruition and hurting Bitcoin.
It is easy to write that off as the efforts of an obsessed curmudgeon or luddite. I've long wondered whether he has ever received compensation for his efforts.
The good news is, very few people fall into his camp. Conversely, there are a large number of well-known, articulate Bitcoin advocates.
My hope is that his publication serves as a clarion call to proponents. It matters not whether that call is heard by both sides, as respected proponents outweigh respected opponents.
Best case, this most recent comment request will address each SEC-generated question multiple-times-over by proponents, in order for them to fairly weigh both the advantages and disadvantages of many of their legitimately-raised concerns.
Stolfi and having credibility? Man I hope you're kidding!
No one here has ever taken this guy serious! He is nothing more than a joke and a lost, frustrated soul!!
And as others here already have mentioned, if it wasn't for Stolfi's comment, the SEC would have found other reasons to delay the decision for an approval.
Let's see it positive, more time to accumulate more Bitcoin for a good price!
