would be interesting see his technical opinions about the bitcoin protocol
We went through this, perhaps 4000 pages ago...
I have no technical criticisms about the protocol. I am satisfied that it works as it was claimed to do. There may be some efficiency problems, but I am willing to assume that they can be solved in due time.
My skepticism about its longterm success is due to economical, political, social and practical issues. Many of the predictions that bitcoiners take for granted seem highly improbable to me. They minimize, or ignore altogether, many problems (such as the risk of theft) that I believe are quite serious. And so on.
Given that you are a computer scientist, we are glad to hear that you are satisfied with its technicalities.
As for economical, political, social and practical issues, wouldn't it be better for your colleagues in these other fields to comment? You are entitied to your views in these areas, of course, just saying these areas may not be your expertise.
like this guy?
