Patrick does not, in fact, work for Stripe any more, and Stripe sells crypto solutions:

He left Stripe earlier this year. https://x.com/patio11/status/1627815282776637440

He's also a guy who doesn't need to work for Stripe, he could easily find something else to do.

It's a stretch to say he has his opinions because he is supporting the existing financial system.
