I am amazed whenever someone goes so in depth about something or someone I had no idea existed. And I read it all. Impressed by the thuroughness and reporting diligence. And yet, at no point while reading it, am I convinced the entire effort is an acceptable use of my time. That I ever really needed to learn about the subject matter, at least in the context of my many responsibilities that also vie for my time. And it's so long, it takes multiple trips to the web page to finish. And as I get closer to the end, it has difficulty loading so as to bring me back to where I left off reading. But I did it. I read the entire thing. And should "Tim Pool" ever come up in conversation, I am definitely prepared.
I say this with total respect for a really well written article. But, man, was that long.
My comments, of course, are a great use of my writing time and anyone else's reading time.

As for NEAR being legit... Eh, I always come back to this graphic https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RektHQ/Assets/main/images/2021/09/sol-messari.png . The more "insiders" the pie, and the less "public sale," the less respect I have for it. Especially since the other pie pieces can be as illiquid as is convenient to insiders.
Later this substact references this total sh**coin: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/09/04/in-trump-backed-crypto-project-insiders-are-poised-for-unusually-big-paydays/ . And yet that sh**coins 30 percent public sale is /still/ more than what Celo, Solana, or Near got.
