    I cited Garry Tan in my blockchain thesis. One month into writing it, because I wanted to learn more about blockchain, I got disillusioned about whole crypto industry. My conclusions where that blockchain is useless. Happy I did put time into researching this, I saved my friends 5 figures after lengthy discussions.

    Sad one of the biggest crypto influencers is going to lead Y combinator

    It's strange we haven't seen a linkedin alternative by now.

    This would not be the first bad decision YC has made in choosing a president. Ralston's ego and appalling treatment of a female college on a YC video shortly before he was appointed president was infuriating.
