Of course “tech” isn’t a monolith, and neither is “crypto”. Many people into Bitcoin or crypto don’t appreciate being lumped into the very long tail of scams that are an inherent byproduct of permissionless money.

It would be a bit like pre-internet engineers dismissing the internet because it’s the world’s best porn distribution mechanism.



Crypto sure seems like a monolith, albeit one with a dedicated force of apologists.


> Many people into Bitcoin

Can these many people in Bitcoin doing legitimate stuff speak up, because I'm yet to see an actual implemented use case that isn't "evade financial regulations and hope governments don't care enough"


Crypto may not be a monolith, but the vast majority of it is combinations of bullshit, snake-oil, and techno-utopian dreams.
