I love the ideals of crypto. What ideals?

  Everyone has a fair shot to rug pull anyone else.

    Not everyone… all the small fish get rug pulled.

  Decentralization, currency outside the government (a bit of anarchy even :) ) Again, these are ideals. They are by no means met. The reality is a sad state of affairs, mostly, IMO.

    Decentralized also means no centralized rules of law. I'm not sure we want the wealthy crypto whales running around enforcing their own idea of what laws should be. Sounds like a path towards crypto cartels acting like the drug cartels in Mexico killing anyone that wrongs them. I'll take mainstream western courts and law enforcement over that horrific future any day of the week.

  Many cryptocurrency proponents see it as a path to a more decentralised economy, and a way to facilitate anonymity, autonomy (giving people more control over their financial assets), stuff like that. Not saying anything about my ideals, just answering your question.

  (plus to the things being told) Also immutability of storage and an ability to fork the thing and proof of being able to be anonymous for a someone nowadays.
