Lots of people outside of the tech industry follow me now, so figured I& #39;d let you in an open secret that may not be public knowledge.

Inside of serious developer circles nobody takes blockchain seriously.

We think it& #39;s a solution in search of a problem. And a poor one at that.

We think the people that promote cryptocoins are in one of four categories:

1. Scam artists.
2. Clueless McKinsey-type opportunists who don& #39;t understand software.
3. Libertarian nutjobs obsessed with a fantasy of sound money
4. VCs looking to run pump and dumps for a quick buck

Don& #39;t take my word, if you know a developer at a big company like Google or Microsoft ask them what they really think.

The vast majority of us think that crypto nutters are a plague on our profession and don& #39;t reflect our engineering values.
