Crypto as in:
- Decentralized finance (not even Coinbase)
- Decentralized internet (everyone has servers)
- New currencies / economies (niche-specific wealth)
- Stop macro exploitation of intl economies
- Information available to all
- Sanity restored to money system / no more theft
- Sanity restored to content / no more censorship
Then sign me up! Or actually don't... I'll sign me up!
Crypto as in:
- Centralized exchanges
- Centralized content hubs and "vaults"
- Crypto twitter celeb ICOs and pump/dumps
- NFTs ZKPs PePes and emojis
- More corruption than ever
- More theft than ever
- Information obfuscated by memes and schemes
Then no thanks, I'm good. Crypto was cool in the beginning, just got steered into a mess that nobody wants anything to do with anymore (probably intentionally).
- simplify 2y agoFWIW people are still building in the former list and never stopped. It's the "degen" speculators that got loud enough to overtake the public-facing narratives for their own personal gain.
- CaptainFever 2y agoFair take. I always thought it was weird to have crypto projects in Discord servers. The dream was corrupted.
