D. M. Faraday is the editorial voice of All Roads Lead to Bitcoin. He writes about Bitcoin the way a patient teacher would, starting from the evidence, skipping the hype and the price predictions, and clearing away the jargon that keeps most people from ever giving the subject a fair hearing. The idea behind the work is an old and stubborn one: complex things belong to everyone, not just the people already fluent in them. The pen name creates separation between the project and the person, keeping the focus on the arguments and the evidence rather than a personality. No ticker to answer to, no forecast to sell. Just the evidence, examined one myth at a time.
