This has a lot of hype and opinion but very little substance. Respectfully, whoever wrote it needs to actually talk to people building things in the space instead of telling them what they are doing. There are small/partial examples of the clickbait title happening but they're few and far between and I saw none of them cited here.

Also of note, open dialogue, while not stylish in our current zeitgeist, is absolutely necessary and should be actively encouraged among all stakeholders even those that may have opposing views of the future. This is in regard specifically tho not exclusively to the Brian Armstrong/Pelosi convo. Anyone that's been around crypto long enough has seen someone finally grok the potential it brings for disparate, and disagreeing people to work together to accomplish shared goals / public goods.
