except then some of the guys proceeded to go “I’m bearish on crypto” and I was like “wait polymarket is crypto” and they were like “no we would say that’s blockchain not crypto”

interesting

after this experience, i reached out 1:1 to a mix of 30 non-crypto people — tech-forward engineers, founders, execs.

85% regarded crypto + blockchain as different. they value blockchain, not crypto. one even said, "when i hear crypto, i immediately think "scam".

and people think memecoins will solve our PR issue?

well, if you look at @basedpepe0x52 or higher or for example they are 99% unruggable meme coins. In any category there are both ends of the spectrum.

People come to my Blockchain for Beginners weekend seminar which is NOT about the casino and yet they want to know which coins is good and safe; why would next cohort NOT want to make money??

No, I won't ever recommend pump dot fun but i would gladly shill both examples above to the next cohort.
