Founders

Starting to see a real bifurcation among crypto founders:
those who believe crypto is nothing but a speculative platform (and that's all it can ever be) vs those who want to see non-speculative utility emerge on-chain.

the non speculative use cases are heavily penalized via regulation (bitlicense, IRS tax reporting requirements) and other industries (no crypto-related advertising on google/meta/etc, bank closures of crypto co banking accounts) so speculation will, somewhat ironically, continue to dominate.

I would argue that speculation has led us to the path of these punitive measures. WDYT?
