If Noah Smith hasn’t heard of the “debanking political enemies” (choke point 2.0) he should have Nic Carter on econ 102

I was bummed that Erik backed off that point

Crypto debanking was absurd. My friend made crypto-themed keychains and got his bank account closed. Keychains!

Banks and fintechs (and adjacent) like PayPal, Patreon, and others punished users for private social media posts. etc

Debanking was becoming normalized

Same. Maybe he just didn’t want the whole ep to be litigating those points but Erik was right on all 3 of those
