Lots of people outside of the tech industry follow me now, so figured I'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'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'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'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't reflect our engineering values.
