Episode 46: For the Crypto Skeptic

October 02, 2024 • Dave Rothschild

I keep hearing noise from talking heads denigrating and dismissing crypto with pithy ill-conceived soundbites. It’s the kind of thing you expect to hear from the Gary Genslers and Elizabeth Warrens of the world, but I also hear it from people whose opinions I usually respect.

Inspiration for today’s episode came from the 9/20/24 episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, where Bill and his panel fall all over each other to out-hate on crypto, using (to borrow Kamala Harris’s favorite phrase): the same old tired playbook written by the likes of Gensler and Warren.

Key Points From This Episode:

Rebutting crypto-haters’ pithy ill-conceived soundbites, such as:

Aghhh crypto! It’s all just a ponzi scheme.
It’s all made up! There’s No inherent value.
It’s just a playground for criminals and terrorists.
But it’s terrible for the environment.
