I had the honor of meeting Nouriel at the World Economic Forum, at an event held by CV VC (a Swiss blockchain/crypto-focused VC which also invested in my startup).

He gave a scathing talk criticizing cryptocurrencies and blockchains and all other things in the space. I shook his hand afterwards and told him that while I disagreed with some of his opinions, I really respected his conviction to give a talk to a room full of "crypto zealots" and stick to his opinions.

A very kind fellow in conversation, but he sure knows how to deliver bitter critique.

Watched Nouriel absolutely destroy Joe Lubin in a debate at Lubin's conference, in front of hundreds of Eth (and presumably Lubin) supporters, who by the end had no doubts who won. And yes, quite a nice guy in private conversation.
