Well, I mean, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Lots of new tech brings new problems and new solutions that wouldn't apply at all to old tech. We had very little need for super precision honed turbines in 1900. We sure are happy to have them now though. I look forward to the crypto crash as much as any "paper hands hater". But I can't dislike it for being new or novel.
