While I'm in general a blockchain & crypto skeptic- worth noting that FT Alphaville are not arguing in good faith, they are self-proclaimed contrarians who are fanatically anti-tech, anti-tech companies, and in particular anti-US tech companies. They are especially obsessed with blockchain and Tesla/Musk. They churn out 1-2 anti-crypto or anti-Musk or anti-Silicon Valley opinion pieces like this literally every day, apparently for a British finance industry audience. I used to enjoy the blog, but it's veered into anti-tech (and frankly, borderline anti-American tech) zealotry. (None of this is meant to be an endorsement of blockchain, but I can be skeptical while still examining the system in good faith)
- subsubsub 7y agoFT have the same issue with Brexit - woah there! take your mouse of off of that down vote and hear me out!!! Since the vote came back they have had a constant stream of negative articles both related to the current days events and repeats of what they have said on previous weeks. Their authors are now at the point that if Brexit does happen, and it is anything less than a total economic apocalypse, they will look like they got it wrong.
- ggg2 7y agoto be honest, generating 1-2 real and credible articles per day talking bad things against kleptocurrencies and elon musk, is a very banal feat.
