And I suspect the core problem that has wended its way through the history of cryptocurrency is that the vast majority of people involved do not actually care what the thing they’re flocking to is. What they care about is that it has a graph, and that they get rich if the graph goes up, so they say whatever might make the graph go up. The graph even looks exactly the same for every coin and NFT and Whatever else: x-axis time, y-axis dollars. The only place the thing appears at all is in the title, where you can safely ignore it.
This is what agitates me in the crypto space. Any novel solutions for any problems get drowned out by grifters, freaky investors, or crypto coin airdrop hunters.
It makes the environment repulsive to any sane individual.
