The social aspects of the crypto community are very interesting. The "WAGMI" mindset encourages a kind of freewheeling magnanimity where strangers will offer to help people get involved, give away free coin, bail out people who got scammed, etc. No doubt this is often genuine goodwill, but it's also an effective technique for recruitment (it's longstanding practice for evangelical religions and MLMs), and it creates a situation where a lot of self-interested people looking to get rich quick are mingling in an environment where it's perfectly common to make generous offers with no expectation of return. It's like going to a tech meetup where there are a lot of people working on startups, and who might buy a few rounds at the bar afterwards in exchange for maybe attracting an interested investor or cofounder, but where there's a chance that drinking a seemingly normal beer might give them access to your bank account.
