I deserve all the criticism and hate for my last blog post, but I just want to be clear:

I've never been more optimistic about the good side of crypto, and I have the utmost respect for those building useful, sustainable products in an avalanche of noise. I'll be around, and my DMs will be open.

I feel "deserve" is a strong word in this scenario, as I don't think you deserve criticism or hate. I would frame it along the lines of "People are free to criticize and hate me for my last blog post..."
