it is nuts for someone who runs a crypto media outlet to write this, and even more nuts for Time magazine to publish it

Shin is the founder of the crypto news outlet, Unchained, host of the Unchained podcast, and the author of The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze
As a journalist, I try not to reveal personal opinions. But I’m breaking that rule today, because as an American, there’s something I, a progressive Democrat and a journalist who has covered crypto for more than nine years, have to speak up about.

i respect laura shin’s work but suggesting she’s a neutral observer is about as bananas as suggesting i am

i will say it is brave of her to “come out” as a progressive in the crypto world, which is heavily pro-trump and prone to attacking anyone who isn’t. i’m sure that wasn’t an easy decision given her business.

After I refused a bribe to remove a @web3isgreat post about alleged crypto pyramid scheme co-founder Roman Ziemian, I’ve now received a fraudulent copyright claim aimed at forcing me to take it down

The BlogSpot website that is rehosting my post and claiming to be the original is full of other such posts from other websites, suggesting this is part of a wider campaign to scrub information about Ziemian.

This is another plus to hosting your own work, by the way. They can still take it up the chain to my service providers, but I don’t have to worry about filing a counterclaim with the webhost because I AM the webhost.
