- meltyness 4y agoCrypto is diffuse and not very many people. Fewer than 2M bitcoin wallets contain $28K, a median family's worth of savings / 4 checking accounts. That's not even a whole city's worth of people "demonstrating", and it's a global thing. It's a quarter of the speculative value of AAPL. It's also concurrent and passive. Very few people have dropped everything to do the crypto influencer dance, and now influencer+crypto is seeing SEC crackdowns. Crypto is at most slacktivism right now. Nothing like BLM, MAGA, which are no doubt viewed by powerful economic planners as wasteful.
