I mean, my "issue" with it is right there in my top level reply: Making new kinds of scarcity is just a way to shift winners and losers around, it does nothing to really fix anything. And this: > zero-trust solutions vs. > obvious scam projects might be the source of cognitive dissonance people who are into this stuff might need to grapple with before they start throwing shade at people who are skeptical. And yes I'm aware that zero-trust here has a technical meaning that's not related to people scamming with it, but if you want to convince people that this is worth something your idea of trust needs to evolve beyond a dry technical reading. Also, if I need to prove any credentials back in the early-ish days I burnt out a radeon video card mining a bunch of currencies up to the first rollout of ethereum. I think there's some interesting ideas in the tech (demonstrating that zero-trust consensus protocols could exist at scale at all is super interesting), but what it's become is an environmental and financial disaster zone and I'm not interested in that anymore.
