Reminder that should be pinned to every time Stephen Diehl is linked. Diehl is the CTO and cofounder of an "enterprise blockchain" company, that directly competes with public chains like Ethereum.
All of which is fine, he's entitled to his own opinion. But what's extremely is that he doesn't disclose this conflict of interest, and in fact goes to great lengths to hide it whenever acting as a public crypto critic.

If anyone mentions that, they will get blocked by him. Not even those who support cryptocurrencies are allowed in this 'Crypto Policy Symposium'. He's doing this because of his failed blockchain company that was killed by public smart contract blockchains like Ethereum and especially Cardano, which resembles everything that he wanted to build, but as a private blockchain with formal proofs. Now he has attached his whole identity to hating all of crypto by writing tons of absolutist articles, grifting and farming for more followers, book sales, and one-sided interviews. As you know, Stephen Diehl (and his other co-founder Darren Tseng) will never disclose that. Just listen to what he has to say about his blockchain startup before he knew Cardano ruined his business.
