I've actually thought about this myself, and have come to a couple of somewhat opposing conclusions: * Crypto is uniquely capitalist and to some extent uniquely exploitative technology. Given how minimally used it appears to be for actually worthwhile things and how many people are getting rugpulled, just how much damage is actually being done, I can see why there are so many people who consider it to occupy its own separate tier of capitalist exploitation. * As a tech worker, I hate thinking about how what I do is itself exploitative and capitalist, and the crypto ecosystem and community makes me feel better about it because at least I'm not that bad. I assume a lot of folks would never admit to feeling this way, but probably do on some level.
