“Disgusting” is a hilariously strong word to use against someone trying to hold a 100B+ company to a little heat and get attention to their cause.

“Assume positive intent” is a facade for “don’t assume negative intent” - but that doesn’t mean we should dip into the good-will bucket for every company spokesperson here.

No, but for the Collison brothers I'll be happy to make an exception, I have yet to see any interaction between them and others where they did not go out of their way to make things right and they come across as super nice, both before and after their success.

If you want to go after the CEOs of other 100B+ companies be my guest, they usually are jerks. But in this very specific case that is not so.
