Hi friends, and welcome back to Week in Evaluation! Last week, I discussed tech handling Disney. This week, I'm speaking about the search for a brand-new crypto messiah. If you read this on the Tech, Crunch website, you can get this in your inbox from the newsletter page, and follow my tweets @lucasmtny.
This weekend, thousands of crypto acolytes and investors have actually descended on a Bitcoin-themed conference in Miami, an extremely real, extremely heavily-produced conference sporting crypto celebs and real stars all on a mission to make waves. Despite the fact that I am not at the conference in individual (panels from its primary phase were live-streamed online), I have a lot of welcomes in my email for afterparties featuring celebs, open bars and endless conversations on the hazards of fiat.
Despite having so much, what they still seem to be lacking is a tutelary saint. For the longest bout, that was Space, X and Tesla CEO Elon Musk who strengthened the currency by pushing Tesla to invest money on its balance sheet into bitcoin, while likewise promoting Tesla to accept bitcoin payments for its automobiles.
There are a lot of celebs looking to fill his shoes a current endorsement failed by Soulja Boy was one of the more funny circumstances. Crypto has been no stranger to grift of that even the most hardcore crypto grifters can likely agree and I think there's been some agreement that the only leader who can really preach the gospel is someone who is already so rich they don't even need more cash.
The very best runner-up at the moment seems one Jack Dorsey, and while like Musk he is likewise another double-CEO, he is rather a bit different from him in demeanor and desire for the spotlight. He was, however, a heading speaker at Miami's Bitcoin conference. Dorsey gathers the most headlines for his work at Twitter but it's Square where he is pressing many of his crypto enthusiasm.
