Ah, the marvelous Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s very own legal eagle, has taken his quill to the page (or rather, his fingers to the keyboard) to give a jolly good thrashing to a certain documentary. Directed by none other than Ben McKenzie, the chap who once strutted about as Ryan Atwood in The O.C. – a show so dramatically teen-angsty it could make a grown man weep into his cocoa.
This documentary, with the rather dramatic title “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money”, has ruffled more than a few feathers in the crypto coop. Alderoty, ever the wordsmith, dismissed it as a “tired narrative,” as if it were a worn-out pair of slippers rather than a film with a point to make.
From Sandy Beaches to Crypto Skeptic
Yes, the very same McKenzie, once the heartthrob of Newport Beach, has now turned his attention to the wild, wild west of digital assets. The film, which has been making quite the splash, claims to expose the crypto world as a grand charade. But is it all just a load of old tosh, or is there a grain of truth in there somewhere? Only the most astute (or perhaps the most paranoid) can say.

Now, one might wonder why a Hollywood darling would turn his nose up at the glittering world of crypto. According to the New York Times, McKenzie’s journey into this mercurial realm began in 2020. Initially, he was as curious as a cat with a new ball of yarn, but soon, he became as skeptical as a Victorian aunt at a rock concert. The sight of celebrities like Matt Damon and Floyd Mayweather peddling crypto during the 2021 bull market apparently turned his stomach faster than a dodgy prawn sandwich.
The documentary features a motley crew of characters: crypto skeptics, poor souls who lost their life savings, and even the infamous Sam Bankman-Fried, interviewed just before his empire crumbled like a poorly built sandcastle. The message? Crypto, it seems, is built on nothing but hot air and blind trust. How very dare they!
The Crypto Counterattack
Alderoty, not one to take such accusations lying down, took to X (formerly Twitter, but let’s not get into that) to defend his beloved industry. He accused McKenzie of painting the crypto world with a brush so broad it could wallpaper the entire Ritz. “Tens of millions of everyday Americans,” he proclaimed, “are using this tool to diversify their income, run their businesses, and access new financial opportunities.” Quite the endorsement, if we do say so ourselves.
The National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) chimed in too, pointing out that every blockchain transaction leaves a permanent, traceable record. “Accountability,” they declared, as if holding up a shiny shield against the slings and arrows of outrageous skepticism.
So, there you have it, dear reader. A Hollywood star, a crypto exec, and a documentary that’s got everyone talking. Who’s telling the truth? Who’s just in it for the money? And more importantly, where’s Ryan Atwood when you need him? Only time will tell. In the meantime, grab your popcorn and enjoy the show.
