> If Maciej had hedged his bets and accepted Bitcoin payments for Pinboard in 2013[1], it would most have been the most cost-effective action of his entire life. He would be worth millions more today. This argument makes me hate cryptobros even more - people who have an interest in cryptocurrencies have direct financial benefit from talking about how good they are. > He could have used that money to further causes he cares about, such as climate change and social issues. Financial benefit from something doesn't make it right or morally acceptable, it only makes you rich.
