Anyone, who gets into building a company in the crypto space is a scammer. Period.

  That's a bit spicy. Don't forget we're on the Y Combinator forums, so this may read as an attack against their investment strategy - not even dang can protect us here.

    This forum actively supported deplatforming crypto source from VCS hosts so I'm pretty sure it being YCombinator doesn't matter at all.

    Putting money into crypto is not investing. It's gambling.

  I think that's either untrue, or at least there are different levels of scaminess. I put some money into FTX to short Celsius (another scam) and would have been happy with the service if they hadn't gone and stolen my money. I mean you could argue that any trading of crypto is inherently a scam but there are some consenting adults who chose to do it.

    "...would have been happy with the service if they hadn't gone and stolen my money." That's a pretty big caveat, though.

    I am talking about people who "build" these exchanges and platforms and new protocols and shitcoins. Anyone peddling anything under Web3, DeFi, Blockchain, NFT etc is a scammer. People who think they are trading or investing are the suckers.
