I liked the Haskell content on his blog, I'm not sure about his new political line against crypto. This started a bit more than a year ago with this post https://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/crypto.html https://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/crypto.html, which ends on a bizarre claim about a link between crypto and right-wing extremism:
> David Golumbia’s excellent book The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism outlines the rabbit-hole effect that this ecosystem is having on software engineers onboarding them into deeper forms of right-wing extremism.
This is not crypto-specific, I'd rather read software blogs than political blogs in general. In the spirit of Drew DeVault (https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/26/Cryptocurrency-is-a-disaster.html https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/26/Cryptocurrency-is-a-disas...), I'll disclose my stake in cryptocurrency: I currently own ~1000€ in Bitcoin, that I bought for something like 800€ earlier in the year. Those ~200€ are the only profit I made on crypto. I use Monero from time to time for stuff where Monero is useful.
