The idea that venture capital tycoons who are deeply wired into D.C. are leading a revolution against the establishment is so tired and annoying. Just accept the responsibility for what it means to be powerful.

Hillary Clinton was offended when called her a member of the establishment, because saying you hate the establishment is a tried and true test of refusing to admit you have power and responsibility. @cdixon and the Andreessen crew share Hillary Clinton's politics.
There's a lot of good faith in the crypto world, but that there's no internal effort to get rid of the massive grifting going on by cynical financiers is a giant red flag.
One thing I enjoyed researching was how Michael Milken framed his junk bond scams as an assault on the establishment on behalf of the disempowered. He claimed to be inspired by the Civil Rights movement and Mario Savio's free speech campaign. This shit is old and tired.
