My hot take on most crypto skeptics is "nobody cares about Ravi Suria today". But then I realised, with a shock, that nobody cares about the people who argued *against* Suria back in the day. In the end, the only people remembered are the people who built things.

This is a deliberately obscure tweet because crypto is such a lightning rod these days. Bravo if you understood the reference to Suria! I'll shut up now.

Oh man, this is a really good take:

This is mostly right. But though no one cares about Suria's critics today, they were valued by someone: Bezos Same way @BanklessHQ may be forgotten for defending crypto (or shilling based on your tribe). But they matter to builders *today* who need to know someone has their back

My related hot take is that whether they are remembered or not doesn’t matter. Being remembered for something is value neutral.

Same can be said of crypto critics today. They may eventually be forgotten. But they reduce the number of fraudsters & divert resources to the builders who need it. Ultimately the talkers don't matter in the grand scheme of things. But they're needed by the people who do matter.
