Criticizing crypto isn't the same thing as running crypto scams. This is a false equivalence. If more people had stood up to this dumb fad earlier, we'd all have been better for it. I'll preface this by saying I'm not claiming you personally are doing this, but I've noticed a shift in the tactics of the crypto hucksters now that the shine has worn off. They'll concede that the current landscape is "mostly scams" (or at least, that it is marred by some "bad apples") while touting some vague future utility that crypto will eventually unlock. The claim here is that the skeptics are somehow wrong for dismissing this potential. Yet instead of making any specific claims about valid use cases, they'll attack the critics for going "too far" in their critique of crypto, to try and sew a seed of doubt and leave the door open. I've been watching this space for ages. I see literally nothing with any utility here, and it all looks like scams (or, somewhat more charitably, casino chips) to me. I don't see why we should demand that anybody hedge on this assertion and I applaud anybody who was willing to stand up to the madness back when it wasn't quite so fashionable to do so.
