I worked in crypto. It seems that if you work in that industry and actually try to improve a project, the whole social apparatus turns against you. On the other hand, I've seen plenty of scam projects where the founders keep getting funding from government organizations and they just waste all the money and keep receiving more investment even though they objectively achieved nothing.
After leaving crypto, I saw opportunities dry up, people seemed to pull out of my projects for no reason, friends/colleagues I worked with closely for over 2 years stopped answering my texts, also for no reason. I also got fired for no reason after the boss had been praising my work for 6 months straight. Just a lot of weird stuff. Not sure if it's because cryptocurrency sector has stigma behind it or because of something more sinister.
Anyway, it's a mistake to think that things are good for everyone. There is a lot of nasty stuff going on behind the scenes. Many people's good fortune is built directly on the back of the suffering of others, often without them realizing.

The average person looks at this and associates it with a scam. >After leaving crypto, I saw opportunities dry up, people seemed to pull out of my projects for no reason I wouldn't say for no reason, SBF did a really good job of making anything even close to the coin world completely and totally toxic. >Anyway, it's a mistake to think that things are good for everyone I never said that exactly... I said on average things are getting better and just because you're having a bad day it is not a legitimate excuse to elect the next hitler and burn the world down. Making things worse is easy, making things better is extremely hard.
