I am critical of certain aspects of crypto currencies and I'm certainly not a "crypto fanboy", but
> Some cryptocurrency enthusiasts envision a world where cryptocurrencies have replaced dollars and euros (which they refer to as “fiat”; I prefer the term “real money”)
if the author wanted to get their point across, maybe they could have avoided the snarky comment in the article's introduction? Whenever I read this type of statement, there is a switch in my brain that flips and goes "OK what you're going to read next is probably biased". At least in my personal experience, this style of writing ends up diluting the validity of any other statement within the article.

One of them: "I have instead come to believe that [crypto is] so harmful that I cannot ethically continue to ignore them, and must instead do my best to educate and advocate against their wider adoption. I am picking my battles, and this is one of them."
