The community.
People in crypto are delusional that it can somehow save the world from itself, at least they believe this in the bear market, and of course as soon as the bull market comes they flip ideology and rotate into fiat.
The Cryptosphere is a sess pit, full of scammers wanting to get rich quick. They will pump money into NFT platforms, not because they care about "funding the arts", but because they want to jump on the next hype train so they can flip some meaningless and hideous procedurally generated art by some 14 year old kid who wrote a script.
- brunorsini 5y agoI agree there are lots of scammers on the community. But were you on the internet in the early 90s? Do you remember the type of jpegs that got shared around on IRC, pretty much making their way to your hard drives whether you wanted to see them or not? Yet here we are, having a highly civilized debate on the free, powered by a series of magic tubes. This is just the start and decentralization does have tangible advantages.
- shabier 5y agoSpot on. It was easy to criticize the internet back then and the criticisms made sense. The tech has matured a lot since then and we're more online than ever. Every community will always have bad actors, it's unfair to judge the entire community because of them

- Kiro 5y agoI think you have bull and bear mixed up. > hideous procedurally generated art by some 14 year old kid who wrote a script That's unnecessarily condescending. Don't let your anger toward crypto spill over on the computer generated art scene. If my 14 year old wrote scripts, let alone made procedurally generated art, I would be extremely impressed and proud.
