TechCrunch interviewed Tyler Cowen about crypto.

True: TechCrunch published an interview with Tyler Cowen (written Q&A, article built on an interview, or TechCrunch podcast/video) on or before 2022-02-12 in which crypto/cryptocurrency is the main subject or a major one. Mostly true: the interview exists, but crypto is one of several major topics or the date is slightly off. Mixed: TechCrunch quoted Cowen on crypto only briefly in a broader piece. Mostly false: the interview was on crypto but by a different outlet, or was a TechCrunch interview on an unrelated subject. False: no TechCrunch interview with Cowen on this subject exists.

E1 is a TechCrunch article dated 2022-02-11. In it the writer says they reached out to Cowen to talk about the history of crypto and monetary policy. E2 shows the piece is set out as a Q&A with Cowen's answers, and his answers are about crypto, for example that he went from "crypto skeptic" to "crypto hopeful." So TechCrunch published an interview with Cowen centred on crypto before 2022-02-12.
