Any kind of generalization is somewhat inaccurate. Especially as individuals are not themselves categories. Individual posters may or may not fit into this generalization. It is simply my perception of the prevailing preferences. Would it b

All cryptogames create nothing of value? This is a wild generalization. Even if you do not personally value it, it does not follow that others do not value it. Entertainment is subjective as is the perception of value generally. Apply your

A regulated cryptosphere is mostly toothless. If people wanted that kind of regulatory overhead they could just use PayPal or bank transfers denominated in central bank currencies. For all of the problems in the cryptosphere, traditional Li
