It seems that Stephen's criticism (<a href="https://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/crypto.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/crypto.html</a>) was mostly geared towards the Cardano blockchain project (<a href="https://cardano.org/" rel="nofollow">https://cardano.org/</a>) which is mainly developed by IOHK (<a href="https://iohk.io/team/" rel="nofollow">https://iohk.io/team/</a>). Apparently Stephen had for example send emails to several of their employees, stating that they are working on a ponzi scheme.<p>The video contains Charles Hoskinson's (who is the CEO of IOHK) rebuttal to Stephen's arguments.<p>References:<p>Stephen's original post: <a href="https://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/crypto.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/crypto.html</a><p>Hacker news discussion: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23997667" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23997667</a><p>Reddit discussion: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/comments/i0ube5/the_haskell_elephant_in_the_room/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/comments/i0ube5/the_haskell...</a>
