Why would anyone listen to the creator of a simple fork of Bitcoin as an art project? The guy did something interesting and fun. He’s not a though leader in crypto. That said most of crypto is a scam, just like most of dotcom 1.0 in 2000 was crap. The parallels are a near dead match, speaking from someone who was there. The vibe was the same. Was the internet a scam?
