Molly has done a poor job covering the cryptocurrency industry in general.
- simonw 3y agoYou misspelt "excellent" there. (Seriously, if you're going to claim that Molly White of all people did a bad job covering cryptocurrency you're going to need to bring receipts.)
- kylebenzle 3y agoOf course. First, she calls the industry, "a grift". I've been in deeply into crypto since 2012 and dismissing peer-to-peer digital cash nothing but a "scam" in 2023 ignores a decade of progress and hard work, not to mention an actual working product used by thousands of people a year. Everyone actually using Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Monero know that 99.999% of what is out there is a scam for morons. Main exhibit would be her editorializing (not reporting) of the industry with her site, https://web3isgoinggreat.com/ https://web3isgoinggreat.com/. Here she posts only negative articles or opinions cherry picked for highlight issues with crypto. Every "hack", every rug-pull, every scam token. In my opinion its a HUGE waste of time and not useful or interesting. The website she should have built for Web3isGoingGreat.com would be VERY simple, just a like to the home pages for Bitcoin White Paper, then the Monero and Bitcoin Cash home pages. Thats all anyone needs to know about crypto, the rest is a scam.
- jefftk 3y ago> the rest is a scam Etherium is a scam?
- kylebenzle 3y agoIt's an unlicensed security at the very least. But yes, it's closer to a scam than a a useful currency.
- simonw 3y agoIf you think the rest is a scam, do you at least appreciate all of the articles she's written that help illustrate that point?
- bmitc 3y ago> just a like to the home pages for Bitcoin White Paper, then the Monero and Bitcoin Cash home pages. Thats all anyone needs to know about crypto, the rest is a scam. Doesn't that mean that you actually agree with her stance and reporting?
- kylebenzle 3y agoShe focuses 100% on the scams which are the least interesting part of the industry but gets the most attention.
- null0pointer 3y agoAs someone who has been into crypto for a similar amount of time I can confirm that this analysis of the state of the crypto landscape is accurate.

- sgammon 3y agoyou're saying crypto is going great? on SBF's conviction news?
- qeternity 3y ago> the rest is a scam. Ok, and this is what she writes about.
- cianmm 3y agoI feel that if you agree that "99.999% of what is out there is a scam for morons" then it's pretty tough to argue that the industry isn't a grift.
- FireBeyond 3y agoHe literally said this of Bitcoin yesterday: > And still, 10 years in, a near perfect tract record, people are still unsure about Bitcoin. What's the issue exactly, people are just scared? A near perfect track record? How?
- kylebenzle 3y agoIt might be too late for you to see this but "Bitcoin" is the project, BTC and BCH are two forks of the original project.
- bambax 3y ago> I've been in deeply into crypto since 2012 I think one could have guessed that from your first comment ;-)
- dontlaugh 3y agoJust because you also fell for it doesn't make her wrong.
- kylebenzle 3y agoI've made more money in cryptocurrency than most people will make in a lifetime, I can guess you can call that getting scammed if you want.

- gregopet 3y agoSBF was probably saying the same thing not so long ago. Of course it's possible to make money with/during a scam, I don't think anybody is disputing that?
- kylebenzle 3y agoSBF made all his money stealing from people and arbitrage, he really had nothing to do with cryptocurrency.
