Molly White Tracks Crypto Scams. It’s Going Just Great
I've crossed swords with Molly a couple of times. I was the release coordinator for Ethereum, and I've been active in the space a long long time.<p>Here's what it boils down to: freedom is messy.<p>The early days of the dotcom space were filled with carnage of a type which makes crypto look pretty normal. Amazon stock dropped >90% and a trillion and a half in value vanished from the market overall. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble</a><p>And that's in a space whose biggest ambition was to replace catalogue shopping and how hotel reservations are made.<p>Crypto has bigger goals, and the mess is bigger. But it's the same innovation engine that ran Silicon Valley, the same type of people, it's just now they're less dependent on Goldman Sachs when they want to go to the public and ask for their money. Make no mistake: nothing new, strange or unusual is happening. It's just tech being tech, no cause for alarm.
