The author seems to keep making the same mistakes - the latest being on iPhones and BTC.
Do I care that Android devices have larger market share? Not at all. Apple is on the high end, profitable part.
Should you care that the crypto ecosystem has a few bad actors, and may not be for 90% of the population? Not at all, and for the same reason.
Some customers are said to be the "harbinger of failure" [1]. Considering the author employment history, I might say the same: some employees may be harbingers of doom for the company that hires them.
If he had been working at Apple (=>iPhone) instead of Sun then Google, he might have had more of a point... but still, past performance not being indicative of future performance, I'm extremely cautious about old hackers who think they know it all and extrapolate WAY outside their area of competence.
