Speaking personally, they might be concise and precise but the arguments are nothing new and too often have simple counter arguments. That's the reason they're not addressed, there really is no reason to except to directly address the Molly white audience.

If only there was anyone to provide those.

No, it's not the reason. Because you'd think that after a decade there would be blog posts or articles with coherent explanations of how these problems are tackled. Nope. All we hear is "there are arguments but we won't show them to you just join the discords believe in blockchain so many smart people are working on it".


There are endless blogs and forums with these arguments chewed out, just a google search away.

Molly sounds like someone with an agenda of wilful ignorance due to how easily rebuttals of her arguments can be located, and thus it’s a waste of time to even engage.

As I said, "All we hear is 'there are arguments but we won't show them to you just join the discords'". Without fail.

Well, there are some entirely self-referential circular arguments sometimes (as in crypto X is good because it's based/traded with cypto Y), but that's about as far as it goes.
