I heard someone from "a16z" describe cryptocurrencies as a "digital asset class".

Um, what?

That kind of talk flips bozo bits.

I'm a fan of the ezra klein show, but this is probably the worst episode. I vaguely remember a torrent of nonsense from someone whose job it is to make cryptocurrency sound good with basically no pushback.

Agreed; mosdef.

IMHO, the rebuttal episode w/ Dan Olson, 6 months later, was spot on:
