"Automate financial controls and processes in your corporate treasury with inter-company loans, virtual account management, powerful APIs and a distributed ledger made for financial audibility & compliance."
There's a pretty big difference between corporate treasury software and cryptocurrency scams? Unless you're trying to argue that anything related to finance is a scam?
I don't see what point you're trying to make, it seems such an irrelevant comment that it makes me question your motive and wonder if you're trying to smear Stephen.
To me this reads less like a smear and more just "this could be why he dislikes crypto that much".
Those seem like entirely different markets to me.
I think our disagreement stems from how vague Stephens post is. By not naming any names he could be accusing any crypto company, including those that might indirectly compete with him, of being fraudulent.
My stance would probably change if someone were to point out one of the "right-wing conspiracy theory cult" Haskell companies that Stephen is alluding to, but as it stands this mainly seems like fearmongering to me.
Edit: To be clear, I like his blog posts normally and am not trying to smear him. I'm just saying it's not a fair comparison.
Cryptographic ledger technology has been around since forever (the 70s to be precise): just look at Git, SUNDR, etc.
I believe he's specifically calling out firms working on cryptocurrencies; cryptocurrencies are just one application of cryptographic distributed ledgers.
Edit: In fact I don't know of a single company using Haskell in the crypto space I'd define as a 'scam'
