>So it seems Drew is biased here, he is biased because his service is being used by thieves to make money.

Thieves using my service to make money is what pushed me over the edge into writing this piece, but I have a well-documented history of criticising cryptocurrencies. Here are some examples on HN:

You're asking people to document their own bias, so I think it is only fair to point out yours.

Do you believe that cryptocurrency as a whole is an abject disaster? Do you support efforts to reform consensus with alternatives to Proof-of-Work (eg. Proof-of-Stake, Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance, etc.) or do you think cryptocurrency is a lost cause?

>You're asking people to document their own bias, so I think it is only fair to point out yours.

I think I have been pretty open with my own perspective in TFA.

>Do you believe that cryptocurrency as a whole is an abject disaster?

Yes. I just published an article titled "Cryptocurrency is an abject disaster".

>Do you support efforts to reform consensus with alternatives to Proof-of-Work [...] or do you think cryptocurrency is a lost cause

I addressed both of these in TFA, too.

>I think I have been pretty open with my own perspective in TFA.

Perspective and bias are two different things.

>I addressed both of these in TFA, too.

No you didn't, or I wouldn't have asked. You mention proof-of-stake in passing. You also seem to continue to conflate proof-of-work with cryptocurrency in general.

You seem uninterested in discussing these topics further than what you've laid out in your article, which is totally fine. Thanks for taking the time to write and share.
