You copied our coin!
Well duh.
Every crypto is a copy of all that came before it.
There just really isn't that much difference that can happen in a computer keeping track of money.

But, it really does sting when you work really hard on something but can't get any traction, and then some big name waltzes off with your thing and sells if for a fortune.

I am unsure about that list on McAfee. The way he tells the story, all those points are sorta correct, but really leave the wrong impression.

Like "He moved to Belize and constantly bribed the police department with "gifts"

This is SOP for any rich person in a 3rd world nation.
It is only weird to straight middle class people who only see crime families and politicians on TV.
In Chicago, still, if you want to run for office, these "men in suits" will show up at your office and give you a price for you being able to run.

Sooooo, most of that list is just what happens when two groups argue out something in a third world nation.

First the CCP, then Amazonium covering up The Rona... We all know they are cut from the same cloth.
