Episode notes

Journalists should ask simple questions like How do you make money? Why aren't you profitable? Can you be profitable. When a crypto project is so complex that it can't be explained I think everybody's alarm bells should go off. This is exactly what happened with the the default swaps and and the mortgage backsecurities in 2008 they were too complex as a way of Obscuring and obscuring the grift. So it is really hard to figure out when you have to sort of Trust in the technology.
