I watched this yesterday. For anyone wondering:

It is long but worth a watch. You don't need to stare at the screen the entire time - if you can hear it and look up occasionally, it's fine.




Also watched it yesterday and I really can just summarise the video like this:

Massive crypto scam by people who are now bound to overhype the whole thing. Regular folks fall for it because they buy into the vision and have to believe otherwise everything falls apart. Companies fall for it because FOMO. Incredibly cultish.

The video is good but I don’t think it is worth the watch unless you have morbid curiosity about that particular project, or you want some crypto related cathartic release. I don’t feel better knowing the gory details of how terrible everyone and everything is in this circle.


I agree with you. His 'Line Goes Up' and 'In Search of a Flat Earth' video essays have a lot more meat on the bone than this one.


> It is long but worth a watch

Hadn't clicked the link yet but just reading that made me think "Oh I bet it's Folding Ideas!"

Wasn't disappointed. Thanks OP for the link.


If you're like me, it's probably because of the "Line Goes Up – The Problem With NFTs"[1] video he did. I think it might be the only long YouTube video I watched more than once.
