Comment on Pipe CEO loaned $80M to a Bitcoin mining company, didn’t tell board

Comments

In my opinion, they should also have told customers.

My company is very careful about choosing vendors, and we choose not to do business with anyone involved in crypto (for fraud/stability reasons), especially mining (for environmental reasons).

I respect being cautious near risky business, but that's hardly unique to crypto. And caring about the earth is a good thing, but in no way unique to crypto.

I never said either of these things is unique to crypto. I implied that they're inherent to crypto.

There are plenty of non-crypto vendors we avoid for ethical reasons (e.g. Amazon, Meta).
