I heard someone from "a16z" describe cryptocurrencies as a "digital asset class". Um, what? That kind of talk flips bozo bits. - I'm pretty sure it was this episode. (Totally not worth listening to.) A Crypto Optimist and a Crypto Skeptic Walk Into a Podcast Studio The Ezra Klein Show https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-ezra-klein-show-2/episode/a-crypto-optimist-and-a-crypto-skeptic-walk-into-a-podcast-studio-87543123 https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-ezra-klein-show-2/episode/...

I'm a fan of the ezra klein show, but this is probably the worst episode. I vaguely remember a torrent of nonsense from someone whose job it is to make cryptocurrency sound good with basically no pushback.

  Agreed; mosdef. IMHO, the rebuttal episode w/ Dan Olson, 6 months later, was spot on: The Most Thorough Case Against Crypto I've Heard https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-ezra-klein-show-2/episode/the-most-thorough-case-against-crypto-ive-heard-202061742 https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-ezra-klein-show-2/episode/...
