Is there any proof of him being a cryptobro qanon type? It sounds like a weird mix of buzzwords, I've been following the qanon lunacy for a while and the overlap with the crypto community is basically 0, unless we are talking about esoteric cryptos or cultish crypto like ripple.

No, for decades DHH was almost obnoxiously pretty far left.

That he is now being labeled a nazi for saying we went too far with masks and that crypto might have a use after all because the ability for government to cut off all your money with no recourse is dangerous for society… it’s absurd and pretty much exactly what he often complains about now

Here's a blog post where he sympathizes with both: https://world.hey.com/dhh/i-was-wrong-we-need-crypto-587ccb0...

    The trucker protest has absolutely nothing to do with qanon, but I guess that proves he does support crypto for a specific use case. Being against emergency measures and doing away with due process for freezing accounts is hardly something very extremist imo.

      Let me just say that, as someone who lives in Ottawa, that his takes on the convoy occupation are complete bullshit.

      The fact that he describes it as "just three weeks of honking, blocked streets and bridges, bouncy castles and flag waving", then refers to the response being "shockingly authoritarian" and "martial law" is a sign that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
