After a whiskey-fuelled rant about the various technical and non-technical ways in which Circle's USDC is more centralised than vanilla USD, my friend told me that I often have opinions he hasn't heard elsewhere, and suggested I write them up.
So, here we are. I guess I'll find out soon enough if he was trolling me.
You didn't ask, but in case you're curious: I'm currently engineering co-founder at Villagers.
