Probably unpopular take: I've never understood the hate I hear for Charles Hoskinson (the Cardano dude)... I get the shitcoining point. But is it possible that he's just WRONG about crypto but isn't necessarily a charlatan? I've always heard negativity about him, yet every single time I've listened to him speak (most recently on Shawn Ryan Show), my impression is that he's intelligent, nuanced, and ethical. What am I missing?

What tradfi ppl don't understand: they are thespians. They're actors in the play. As a bitcoiner, I am an audience member that noticed the theatre is on fire. I don't care what act/scene we are in or when intermission is. I'm leaving.

Hot take: when discussing leadership (esp in context of politics) business leaders or often lauded as having the best experience/acumen for the compexities of leadership. I would submit that an overlooked and underestimated intangible in a leader is an understanding of human nature. And few people understand human nature better than skilled adversarial-thinking software developers. So maybe that's what we need: more hackers (preferably cypherpunks) in politics. That's it. That's the tweet.
