it looks like stephen diehl's company no longer exists (no commits on their github repo in 2 years, website no longer exists, failed funding round), but he's at best a hypocrite (his criticisms of blockchain started well before his company folded).

They churn out endless deceptive content about it with inaccurate and misleading claims. Hard to understand why since there's plenty to criticize in the space. Never interacted with them but I have them blocked along with a couple other bad faith influencers promoting themselves.

They've stated their goal is convincing people who are in the space but that's the opposite of what they do because they can see through all the misrepresentations, exaggerations and bad faith arguments. A simple example is pretending proof of stake still consumes lots of energy.

They've lost me as soon as they present financial mass surveillance and censorship by corporations / governments as major positives. For people often claiming everyone who uses / works in cryptography is a fascist those thought leaders have some strangely authoritarian views.

At least for me, reading stuff what they post does the opposite of convincing me cryptocurrency is bad and I'm starting from the position of thinking that non-trivial smart contracts are a terrible idea, most of the space is a scam and Bitcoin has serious privacy issues, etc.
