How many times is this guy going to smear this thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36129090 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36129090 We get it you have a beef, this isn't the place for it. Sort of amazing how little self restraint "CEOs" have these days.

    And what do you think you are adding of value here?

      Calling out a charlatan has significantly more value than someone publicly exposing their fragility.

        Oh I did Google you, it appears you occasionally end up as third author on a bunch of papers funded by grants that have never been put into any meaningful action, you "run" a crypto startup that seems to have no actual employees or users or momentum, you were involved in the ethereum launch but now exaggerate your role, and finally there are frequent examples of you behaving inappropriately as a response to someone lightly grazing your vast ego.

        Not very good at the google are we. Also remember much of my time was in defense thinktanks. Not everything that gets written gets published. For example a good deal of my input on the UK RCDS “Global Cyber Game” report didn’t make it into the unclass version. Likewise a lot of my work for the US office of the secretary of defense is not particularly well known. I’ve been places. I’ve done things. The fact you don’t seem to understand how to read the runes is your limitation, not my track record.

  Yes, let's compare crypto to the Internet. Bitcoin (i.e. crypto ubiquity) is 14 years old. Equivalent Internet ubiquity was circa 1996, so let's say its 14-year equivalent is 2010. Does crypto of today look like the Internet did in 2010, in terms of adoption, support, platform, infrastructure? No. The reality is that crypto is a neat value instrument. Nothing more. P.S. in my years of trying to persuade people in a discussion, I have found that overwhelming them with information only serves to make me appear insecure, ultimately weakening my argument. In my experience.
