It's like me having Britney Spears's thoughts over airline scheduling imposed on me.
And if I remember rightly he's primarily a Zcash fan which isn't the most impressive set up by any means.
Everything is clear if you read the article, his opinion about blockchain, BTC and some altcoins he invest (Monero, Zcash). Snowden is made more for people in this world then daily mentioned Buffett, Gates or others "prophets " who makes tons of money and create poverty around the world.
How you get Britney Spears and Edward Snowden in any context related to crypto I really do not understand. Maybe you should read what is Snowden done for crypto community when he published some documents concerning direct BTC and NSA.
I respect his work and opinion, and I wish there are more people like him.
