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

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.
