Opinion: Tron Isn't a Scam - Here's Why (and other...

2019/03/30

In light of the Tron / Tesla debacle today (which has since the recording of this video been resolved, but leaves lingering questions), I decided to chime in on why I think calling TRON a scam is entirely irrational from an objective point-of-view. I’ve never once seen an actual citation or argument for WHY TRON is a scam, just ad hominem attacks and emotionally-driven outbursts, primarily on Reddit.

Opinion: 'Crypto Bashing'

2019/03/07

One of the remarkable phenomenon you see when you follow so very closely the cryptocurrency community and the somewhat insulated news sources and culture(s) therein is this concept of 'crypto bashing'. And I mean this in a unique context, qua - like I said - the crypto community. This isn't a more macrocosmic context, such as JPM Chase publicly chastising Bitcoin and blockchain for years only to develop their own proprietary token asset that runs on a permissioned blockchain, or Warren Buffet (in
