R.I.P. Orlin Grabbe

Orlin died over 16 years ago and he was a major influence in my beliefs about money and conspiracy. I'm almost positive that he was a significant influence for Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin, his Digital Money Trust preceded them by eight years. I had a sporadic email relationship with him for the few years preceding his death and I sometimes wonder if he was assassinated. Sixty years old is a statistically unusual age of death.

This was back before corporate privatization of the Internet and the multitudes of insecure moderators eager to ban anyone and anything to protect their woke feelings. The early 1990s almost seem like a dream now.
