Whining about proof of work. Check. Whining about ransomware. Check. Ponzi scheme. Check. What an organic article and opinion.

So, so you have definite proof that nobody could figure out these problems on their own?

This might be a purely stylistic criticism, but it's hard to take articles seriously when they lack professionalism: "Why all cryptocurrencies should die in a fire". I can see the editor smiling and rolling his eyes when making that title. It was cute at some point, but now it's painful, and it's unprofessional.

This guy calls Elon Musk a "walking talking Dunning-Kruger syndrome". That's the level of discourse you can expect from him.

I found it informative, Nicholas Weaver knows what he is talking about. He calls these criminal enterprises for what they are.

I have never read a more apt description of a person. Sure, it’s childish, edgy and inflammatory. See now I accidentally wrote another Musk characterization.

I will gladly stop using Monero if someone can tell me how to privately transact over the internet without CC companies (and others) spying on me and selling my data. Until there is a better solution, I'll keep using it.
