Yes, it works out quite nicely all round. They, by taking his ability to move the market so seriously, grant him social proof that can't be obtained any other way. He, very magnanimously, walks back his most serious attacks, to wit: their team are not credible, and the problem they want to address "is not a real problem". And anyone else who wants their token to pop* will know who they'd better have inside the tent.
* Bancor's token becomes tradeable shortly, see https://blog.bancor.network/token-activation-update-285ba81995b1 https://blog.bancor.network/token-activation-update-285ba819.... It would have been tradeable today, but they have some last minute debugging before their smart contract is ready to "automate Yellen", as Sirer puts it. It's hard to begrudge them this, having seen how Yellen performs in the unpatched 1.0 release.
- el33th40r 9y agoFor the record: I have not walked back any criticism. I saw a brigade forming, and the last thing I want to be is the kind of person who, wittingly or unwittingly, creates a social media brigade. My own blog has been brigaded countless times, and I know how it feels. So do allow me to walk a nuanced line, if you will -- we're all better off if we can diffuse tension instead of getting entrenched in all out assault mode.
- asymmetric 9y agoI really appreciate your stance, but I have a question: if your goal is to walk a nuanced line, why use Twitter to walk it?
