I’m tired.

Everything I love about software: craft, care, community is being gutted.

AI slop PRs for airdrops. Fake activity to juice metrics for retro funding. DAO politics and governance favors. OSS reduced to a game of farming points and politics.

Crypto didn’t liberate anything. It just strapped a token to every soul and called it progress.

I vented to a friend. They said: "That’s not crypto. That’s money. Money corrupts everything it touches."

And yeah maybe that's the problem.

As time passes the case of a crypto critique becomes clearer and clearer. We need more criticism and self-reflection.

The direction is wrong.

it all started with alt-coins of the alt-coins, then shit-coins, then meme-coins. it was clear from the beginning that there was no use case for those coins. only speculation, thus corruption.
