Agree. HN has a sizeable left-leaning and pro-state/pro-fiat population.

Untrue - just look at their punitive drug laws for e.g.. Aus and NZ are nanny states. Maybe Thiel's libertarian influence would be good for the country.

Couldn't agree more.
Let's not forget the kind of racial discrimination that exists in all industries, but tech. I speak as an asian immigrant, and i can't see myself working in any other industry, and hope to get to any senior role.
How many immigrants make it to the top tier of management in media companies? None. How many in UPS, banks, the government... you name it. None.
The only reason tech has to answer, is because there is money in tech. There are working class people, making a fortune in tech BY WORKING HARD. The media and the government doesn't like it.

Having one or more clients doesn't mean much. Eth is organizationally centralized because of the eth foundation. It literally has a dear leader (vitalik), and no different from crypto issued by, say, the fed.
The entire point of crypto is that it tries to solve the problem with existing currency (fiat), which is too tightly controlled by a few individuals.

No it is not, and as far as crypto is concerned - mainstream media is almost always wrong. This really reads like PR for vitalik.
Eth is great as a developer platform, and it can/does have a future. However, btc will remain the true king because of its decentralized nature.

I am with you. I see nothing wrong with this email either. People fuck!
Looks like it offended a bunch of regressive men and women.
