This seems very widely reported in the media, it was the feature story in The Economist this week and had multiple articles in it. Didn't a lot of other new revelations on this come out of reporting by Financial Times and Vox as well?
I was responding to the citizens united statement, not the article. Citizens United literally means money talks. The only alternative is publicly funded campaigns. Which is fine by me. But people will game that system. Might as well make it legal.
My gut feeling is that media (and other) figures are still figuring out how to deal with the cognitive dissonance between their self-perceived intelligence and the fact that the whole crypto-space is a gigantic freaking scam — which has been quite evident to many for years.
It's also being investigated by the SEC and DoJ.
