The New York Times has long had an implacable animus towards all things blockchain, and last week decided to double down by publishing a stupid and dishonest op-ed titled “Crypto is pointless.

Once Art Borkent starts speaking about biting midges, he rarely pauses for breath. Holding up a picture of a gnat trapped in amber from the time of the dinosaurs, the 72-year-old taxonomist explains that there are more than 6,000 ceratopogonidae species known to science.
