The person who wrote this post is pretty well known in the crypto space. Not saying that what was written here is guaranteed to be accurate, but it's likely to be much closer to reality than what the New York Times put out.

To be clear, I enjoyed Levine's commentary on the situation so it's not just because I dislike mainstream publications.

Never heard of them, I've been in the crypto space for many years. Their social media looks like it's run by a teenager and I'm not not being facetious, it literally reads like a 14 year old boy runs the account. The person also writes so many tweets they'd hardly have time for serious work. Over 90% are jokes, memes and rumors.

Not sure how this stuff makes it to the top on HN.

It's how you say, the "lingua franca"?

I myself greatly enjoy it and am happy to see it become more widespread, but that's mostly because I grew up immersed in the culture.

Yikes he posted a screenshot of your comment on Twitter. I agree with you about the tone and despise reading meme filled articles or tweets.

I'm confused, I don't see any memes in the article. Were they deleted?

For posterity, the screenshot of the Tweet: https://twitter.com/0xfbifemboy/status/1592476741582614530

"The person also writes so many tweets they'd hardly have time for serious work."

This statement makes zero sense. What is the arbitrary threshold of tweets to "serious work"? What correlation is there to making tweets and writing articles? This is just a weird form of elitism - congrats on not posting tweets, I guess.
