Stephen Diehl is unfortunately blinded by anti crypto hate, so his arguments on the subject usually don't make much sense. Which is weird, because he's obviously a smart guy. This is no different, I don't know why his posts keep ending up on HN.
- leppr 5y agoCrypto attracts blind love/hate ("shilling"/"FUD"). Very few express rational views about it in public. Our social fabric is not used to everyone having skin in the game. I predict this will calm down once the Ponzi-era fades out (whenever central banks finally decide to tapper), but it's still always going to be a problem which we need to find solutions to.
- acomms 5y agoFor sure this thread of his is passionate, but I can't really refute any of his points. The current NFT market is hot potato.

- cinntaile 5y agoI'm providing context based on his previous crypto opinions. Strong feelings don't make good arguments, they do tend to give rise to fallacies. A scam is something where you are being maliciously tricked. Yet nobody is claiming NFTs give you any legal rights. It's a non sequitur.
