Linus creates kernels. Nothing to do with cryptocurrency. Tech is tech, but I wouldn't necessarily listen to him about other things than kernels and computers. For example, he doesn't even believe in FOSS, and he openly supports Google because of Android, Chromebooks and ChromeOS using Linux.
This. One could find a lot of smart people "believing" in crypto (whatever this means), while being unrelated to them, and their opinion would mean nothing as well.
Of course, Linus is a kernel expert. Not crypto. I have nothing against him. I wouldn't listen to the US president about kernel either. If you need crypto advice, listen to a crypto expert. Not sure why my comment gets downvoted but it seems common sense to me.
