Little known stories about the infamous JStodd.
If you have not heard of the prolific JStodd, you've probably had an interaction with one of his many sockpuppets. JStodd is an interesting character. Very young, dare I say intelligent, boy. Now, I know that using the word intelligent to describe JStodd is going to immediately cause some people to spit out their coffee. Hear me out. JStodd is the perfect youthful mix of arrogance and ignorance. He is full of ideas but has no foundation or understanding with which to build them. That doesn't stop him from immediately thinking that his ideas are the best ones ever, though. His style of arrognorance is very unique. You can usually tell when it's him no matter which one of his several accounts he is using (plus he has not figured out how to create new phone numbers yet so I'm pretty sure he keeps using other phones). One of my more memorable interactions with him is worth mentioning here. It was one of the first times he really caught my attention. There was an obnoxiously arrogant boy trying to give Amaury Sechet advice about the direction that he felt BCH should take. I wish I could remember the specific interaction but it was such a bad take that A.S. didn't mince words. He told him pretty bluntly that it was a stupid idea. JStodd was so appalled at the incompetence of this man. How could he, a man who has been involved in the project since the start and a career developer, tell JStodd that his idea was stupid? I'm sure JStodd had watched at least a couple of YouTube videos before he came up with his brilliant nugget. This was, I think, the first time that he rage quit any crypto. Thinking about this more I very much doubt it, but it was the first time we all were able to witness in the Bitcoin related portion of his adventures. After being dismissed by Amaury he decided that BSV held the answer to the future of Blockchain. He spent several weeks watching at least a few more YouTube videos I'm sure. He became an overnight BSV expert. Around this time a quite obviously fake Craig Wright entered one of the chats he liked to frequent. "Craig" started spouting nonsense that happened to be the exact opposite of JStodd's enlightened reasons for chosing BSV in the first place. What happened next should have been predictable, but it caught me off-guard how easy and quickly his transformation was. As soon as he decided that CSW must be a fool for disagreeing with him he immediately became disillusioned with the project. A few YouTube videos later he came back almost as quickly trying to tell us how great NANO was, how NANO was the only project that could REALLY scale. This new fascination with NANO didn't last long, maybe a week or two. I'm not in any NANO communities so I couldn't tell you why he quit so soon...I'm sure you might be able to guess, though.

Jstodd has ideas but no foundation to build on
I don't think you can know all this, but anyway, he is a troll, know-nothing and destructive.
Hmmmmmmf
Nice story
Jstodd seems brilliant enough, it's just he's terribly misinformed and just has an attention span of a troll when they find something not according to their plan.
it's cool subscribe back, please
Sounds intriguing
you could add links to the relevant discussions. that would make the article much more valuable.
That's good article, otherwise good information article nice
Interesting. Love this article
lol its true
You are an incredible liar. Also, breaking sitewide rules.
The stories are of course true but not meant to be offensive, I love you lil Stodd.
No they are not! I do not get my information from Youtube videos, I did not leave BCH because of disagreeing with Amaury, i did not ever like craig wright, i did not think an obviously fake craig wright account was the real craig wright, I did not believe Nano was the only scalable crypto, none of this shit! You are misconstruing a ton of shit to make me look downright retarded. I did used to dislike ABC, but thats because they were status quo and i was convinced by trolls they hated big blocks. I was fooled by good talkers. I left BCH however due to security concerns revolving around lack of onchain activity. I looked at alternative projects such as BSV, Ethereum, and Nano as contenders with better security models. I wasnt in any single place too long, and a few weeks later i find myself back in BCH, with fresh perspective. My fresh perspective was that maybe Proof of Stake is better than Proof of Work and solves the security problem. This is when i start researching Avalanche, and i realize this is a solution to many problems. Through careful delicate research i find myself aligning more and more with Bitcoin ABC. Then finally i make a public apology to them (see my article, a wonderful lesson in psychology i learned from Amaury Sechet). At this point i come clean about shit and create fresh accounts, i wanted a fresh start. Not too long after however the IFP debacle happens, and i defend ABC. i become the target of both anti ifp people and people who held grudges from before my prior ideological transformation. I was hunted down and character assasinated time and time again. Eventually it just stuck, and i became a villain whether i liked it or not. I found refuge in the Avalanche community, where they care about me and treat me like a real human being. They also are the answer to my blockchain prayers on solving security and scalability. This is where I live now. I do not miss being in BCH, its nothing but heartache, broken dreams, and misery.
