A decentralized poker site cannot hold all its value in a single inflationary currency ducy?

His "accusation" was that you were wrong about something. Perhaps he's incorrect, I'm not sure, but there's no requirement of retraction or rescinding.
Then we are allowing baseless and wrong accusations to stand. The interesting part is he called me out for being wrong... I would suspect that the virtuous thing to do would be to admit the mistake. Otherwise this thread is just full of people that are less knowledgeable than me making assertions I am wrong when I am not. Gzesh has a reputation. I don't. It is quite meaningful when he asserts I am wrong when I am not. And just as so when he corrects his mistake publically.

Seems like you've reverted back to your old and very unproductive ways. Just answer his question or don't; your game-playing isn't getting anyone anywhere.
That poster has implied that my statements about the 10x growth of the bitcoin/crypto poker industry is not factual and baseless, and they have implied that it has not affected pokerstars market share and monopoly status. They are continuing, in a disingenuous fashion, in light of the obvious stats, that I did in fact post.
It is not me being derisive.
If they are curious and want to further intelligent discussion they could curiously ask what the stats are. But this is not their tone and they are not adding productive style inquiries to the dialogue.
Someone from isle of man has been regularly reading my essays/blog on the subject of the decentralization of poker through p2p technology, over the last few years, and it coincidences with Josem's time there (and the time he wasn't there etc.). I have analytics/statistics that show this.
So my assumption is that it was him, or pokerstars employees. Which isn't a stretch since the isle of man is effectively very crypto friendly and savvy.
