Anyone notice how the author goes to great lengths to 'bold' the claims in the original letter that talk about how worthless the technology is - and then fails entirely to address those points?

Letter: "Crypo rests on tech that is useless." Blogger: "I disagree, I think there are some fascinating things to be done with blockchain tech! Just... don't expect me to share them. You should DYOR."

Yeah, this is the classic playbook of hype vendors. The bigger the claim, the less specific, the better, because specifics can be settled one way or another.

IMHO Matthew Green often makes bold yet unsubstantiated claims. He also creates and promotes FUD. He may be technically good, but I don't trust his personal opinion, not even on subjects he presumably knows very well.
