This tweet by Glenn Greenwald (criticizing Hillary's call for crypto regulations)...didn't age well

Today, a big crypto bank shut down withdrawals, and many people might lose their money.
In this April tweet, Greenwald criticized Hillary Clinton for urging regulations on the crypto market. In the tweet, Greenwald lies about Hillary being against Bitcoin due to a threat to "US Imperialism" (Hillary didn't say anything at all about imperialism in the same video that Greenwald links to).
More importantly, the crypto scam is evident today, and Greenwald has gone quiet.

who betrays the ideals of liberalism by opposing regulations on crypto, or on just about anything else
Curious how he felt about deregulation of banking
90 years ago he'd probably have opposed bank regulations
115 years ago, I wonder how he'd have felt about regulations on meat products

Maybe it's time for someone to explain to him that he doesn't speak for a wide swath of liberals
