Nice one! Never heard of him but it doesn’t appear like he understands Bitcoin to me 😅
How did you come across him?

He’s had pretty famous debates with Alex Gladstein and other high profile bitcoiners and hasn’t totally embarrassed himself. He’s even makes good arguments sometimes. He’s a famous bitcoin bear. He understands the fiat thesis, he’s really well versed economically and his articles are worth reading and following.
There is obviously holes in his Bitcoin knowledge, and a serious bias, but there is less than others. In debates he will talk about things like the difficulty adjustment and layer one and two payments etc. he wrote a serious and very long bitcoin tear down article recently about how bitcoin can’t work and it’s seriously in depth. For example, there are things that he knows about btc that I don’t.
However, yeah, there’s an element of bias where he refuses to take the 10,000 foot view seriously because of some micro areas he has tripped himself up on that are obvious to bitcoiners.
