I always assumed his anti-crypto writing was related to being in the Haskell community and a lot of Haskell community really going all-in for crypto at some point several years ago. I think because the problems were interesting and the type of hard that Haskell people like. It's news to me he has other reasons to dislike crypto. I didn't know about adjoint, but that is very curious. I wonder which came first, the distaste or the financial company. I suspect his opinion would be the same regardless of adjoint.
