• Hayden Adams, the founder of Uniswap, criticized people who want to see the crypto world shut down.
• Opposers of technology are infringing on people’s rights, and Adams recommends that they simply let people do what they want.
• Warren Buffet and economist Nouriel Roubini have been vocal about their negative stance on crypto and blockchain technology.
Hayden Adams, the founder of Uniswap, has recently expressed his opinion on those who wish to have crypto shut down. In a tweet, Adams criticized those who want to see the crypto world shut down, stating that they were “incredibly cringe” and that no one was trying to shut down the “dumb fiat system”. Adams also noted that no one was forcing anybody to use crypto, buy coins, or to keep up with the latest events in the industry; instead he recommended that opposers of technology simply let people do what they want and “chill”.
The sentiment of those against crypto or blockchain technology is nothing new, as many prominent figures have been vocal about their negative stance on these technologies. Billionaire Warren Buffet and economist Nouriel Roubini, nicknamed Dr. Doom, have been particularly outspoken against the industry. In the aftermath of the FTX collapse, Roubini stated that Binance’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao, was a “ticking time bomb” and expressed his surprise that Binance had not yet been shut down.
Despite the harsh criticism from the nocoiners, individuals who are against crypto, hold no coin, or show no desire to participate, the industry has continued to grow exponentially. As more and more people become aware of the potential of crypto and blockchain technology, it is likely that we will continue to see more users and more investment in the industry. For now, it seems that Adams’s sentiment of simply letting people do what they want is being echoed by the majority of the crypto community.
