Much more thoughtful than yesterday's blog post addressing Moxie's concerns.

I wonder if the quality of conversations around this subject were improved if similarly to conflicts of interest declared by scientific paper authors, each public critic or supporter of web3 would disclose whether they are currently financially invested in 'crypto'. For outsiders it's harder to tell apart hacker/geek types from speculators and lurkers (not that there couldn't be an overlap). The fact that this article mentions there exist much fewer Ethereum nodes than "Ethereum nerds" may suggest that the non-technical group controls the public discourse and expectations.
