Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, does not believe in cryptocurrencies, calling them a vehicle for scams and a Ponzi scheme.
Torvalds was once rumored to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, but he clarified it was a joke and denied owning a Bitcoin fortune.
Torvalds also dismissed the idea of technological singularity as a bedtime story for children, saying continuous exponential growth does not make sense.

of course linus torvalds doesn't believe in cryptographic security, have you seen the man talk about other peoples ability to write C?

You think this man considers writing insecure code? That's blasphemy!

remember kids, crypto just refers to cryptography, more broadly in the act of practice.
