I’ve seen criticism on here and twitter, as well as some euphoria on the flip side. I don’t think anyone thinks that the token distribution is good or that it’s some wonderful meaningful project. it feels gross and grifty. I think most positive or neutral voices are simply excited that crypto is center stage among the concerns of the incoming administration, as opposed to being unfairly targeted by politically motivated enforcement actions that haven’t solved much of anything (e.g. FTX allowed to happen, Coinbase taken to court). in addition to euphoria from number go up, the desire for regulatory clarity is what’s coming through here imo. it’s unfortunate that this progress has resulted in some questionable alliances along the way.

thank you for sharing your comments!! much appreciated, and glad i’m not the only one with the ick. the issue here for me is that i think if crypto is increasingly associated with (what i consider to be) a fascist individual & his incoming party, it’s core values will absolutely be eradicated and we won’t have decentralisation but rather a constant pandering to Trump (authoritarianism). if that’s the case (and i really REALLY hope i’m wrong), what good does having crypto centre stage right now do for anybody?
