The crypto criticism in MOZ E6 seems so shallow and obtuse that it's hard to believe that it's coming from prominent founders working on some of the leading tech companies of this era. 🧵 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttDuKqJRZaw

1. Flo starts off by saying that a regular user expects to have a forgot password feature on the application and because it doesn't exist in crypto, it doesn't have any use cases. I am assuming he spends enough time on twitter to have seen mentions of acc abstraction and social recovery somewhere?

2. Then, the examples of Axis infinity to discredit Ethereum by Amjad, even though they are not related. I'd expect a person observing this space using newspapers and tabloids to give these arguments, not a technical founder (and Head of Engineering) of a very tech-forward product.

4. And the later questions, such as "give me an example of a tokenomics app that is not a Ponzi" which doesn't even make sense, were very cringe to hear. If you are this assertive about Crypto being a Ponzi then do your friggin' research to atleast know what Maker is or..

learn enough to understand when someone is explaining what it is. 

5. Thanks to @dwr.eth for being the sane voice on that podcast. I felt @antonio's arguments (due to an undertone of emotion) didn't help the case much.

3. The fact that he works very close to devs is also concerning because some of this thinking might get translated into platform features used by the next crop of software developers starting their careers and might deter them from joining this industry. (A challenge I face very regularly trying to onboard web2 devs)
