This would be rather genius. And extremely unlikely, but effective if true and ever enacted.
Why would it be clever to put yourself on the map when before no one would have even considered you?
The only blamable thing in this story is that the so called mainstream media are not technically knowledgeable enough to "scientifically" check their news sources. Good thing, all the nerds around have exposed the scheme in such a short time, I like this era !!

There appears to be significant overlap with the narcissist checklist and a "revered tech leader checklist" (Jobs, Musk, Page, Zuckerberg, etc).
Steve Jobs in his relationships with friends and family, and his own self-destructive (ultimately fatally destructive) streak screams full blown sociopath and always has. Then again, he might just have been a really shitty person without a personality disorder to explain it.
A huge portion of the population is not made up of happy-go-lucky, oblivious-to-the-world individuals, and someone comparing themselves to public figures in some vain attempt to show just how nice and normal their own life is... sigh. There are what, probably over a billion people, that random strangers would label with all kinds of mental illness.

Given his history as a prolific liar, I find his post to be utter bullshit. Note how he's still lying about things he was caught at: "When the rumours began, my qualifications and character were attacked. When those allegations were proven false".

Am I understanding correctly that you are blaming an undiagnosed sociopathy for Jobs' death by pancreatic cancer induced respratory arrest?
Even Jobs realized his self-delusions had cost him some time, at the end.

Humans are not monkies and never were. It is believed that the two species shared a common ancestor at some point. Edit: If someone has evidence otherwise, please post.
Your comment was seen as pedantic and nonconstructive.
Where can I view these observations?

I think you misunderstand the purpose of Bitcoin. It's not meant to be a payment system, but rather a settlement layer.
The top ten results of "bitcoin purpose" on Google concur that in it's current implementation, in how the community and business world view and use it, Bitcoin is meant to be an electronic currency. The FTC recognizes it as a commodity, something that can be bought and sold. In it's current incarnation, it is the equivalent of bartering with baseball cards in lieu of cash. If your point is true, then the purpose has…
The US government has a stake in the failure of non-state-controlled currencies, though, so this isn't really evidence of anything.
