Professional blockchain/crypto hater Nouriel Roubini blocks ShapeShift CEO, Erik Voorhees, on Twitter. Voerhees is understandably devastated.
Yay I got blocked by @Nouriel! The last thing I said to him was "In 2011 Bitcoin fell 95% from $31 to under $2." Historical context was not pleasing to him I guess? @CaitlinLong_ we can be Nouriel block buddies now!

What Lisa Short says…
An interesting observation. Why did the circle of male suits and capital financiers leave the main room at #Blockchainunboundtokyo when the conversation moved to Satoshi is Female? The environment and conversation must change and quickly!

Nouriel Roubini shocks the world with not at all bonkers tweet. Just kidding! Bloody crypto fanatics, they’d better not come round my way with their rabid anti-semitism. I’ll give them a clip round the ear, if they do.
Another crypto lunatic who is also a rabid anti-semite. Why so many crypto fanatics are anti-semite? Because they believe all central banks and banks are evil and they believe that "Jews control the banking system". Thus high correlation between crypto belief and anti-semitism https://t.co/tjMsKs3heo

We could get wound up by Roubini and his attention seeking antics, or we could just have a laugh at his expense. Yeah, let’s just make fun of the old sourpuss.
You pitiful $Crypto fools!

Joe Rogan to debate Roubini? Stick to UFC, mate, you’re not in the same league as…
.@JoeRogan to debate Roubini???
I like Joe, but he has zero murder allegations, no rape charges, no international spy allegations, he's not wanted by the law in a single country and he is six prison incarcerations shy of my record. (I have six). He is not quite in my league.

Stitch that, XRP!
Every $1000 spent on XRP in Jan 18 now worth $80 now that is a good deal. That is the problem when to talk to Satan! https://t.co/ff1HLtL8TH

Remember Dogecoin?

Yup.
The goal isn't that Bitcoin wins and all other cryptocurrencies die. The goal is freedom of transaction, freedom to use or not use intermediaries, freedom to store wealth however one wishes without coercion.
If something can do this better than Bitcoin, I'm in!

Blockchain phones? Pah! Don’t believe the hype.
There is no such thing as a #blockchain phone. Full stop. Period. Sure – the phone may have a built in crypto wallet. But unless it is a full mining node running an EVM or equivalent with a full copy of a blockchain – it ain’t a bl…https://t.co/1oosSvkafI https://t.co/xMyZNk7xJE

And finally…What does this one have to do with blockchain or cryptocurrencies, we hear you cry. Well, Stormy Daniels accepts Vice tokens on her personal website, and what Donald Trump doesn’t know about Bitcoin isn’t worth knowing…Oh, who are we kidding. This one just made us laugh out loud. ‘Game on, Tiny’. Nice one, Stormy.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president. In addition to his…umm…shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny. https://t.co/6DpDD5ELtj
