I think he confused the tool with the person using the tool.

He was quite radical during the Greek debt crisis, and his views have always been consistent.

From the radical left to anti-Bitcoin, his logic is quite coherent.

Oligarchy is a pretty big label to wear, but donating 2,000 coins just because you say so is very crypto in itself.

Donate and then criticize, is that like eating the meal and then smashing the pot?

2000 coins, based on the current price, this donation is quite substantial.

Bitcoin oligarchy... This term needs to be remembered, so I can use it in the next argument.

The former finance minister played so deeply, what was he thinking when he bought it back then

He is opposed to the uneven distribution, not the technology itself.
