I have absolutely no faith in crypto as a force for good. The decentralisation and crypto anarchism ideas that drew me to the space are dead. Crypto capitulated completely to the US government. The grift is everywhere. The extraction has reached new levels. It’s just a centralized, PVP casino.

The only useful cryptocurrency have proven to be stablecoins. The “crypto industry” is the world’s largest mafia-run casino.

besides what dwr said, a lot of the useful cryptos have been overlooked or not created because they don't fit into the US' strict idea of what a security is. If crypto could pay their users profits from their operations, they would be actually useful. I love CRV. It pays like 4% APR today from actual revenue (not ponzinomics) and 14% more from voting incentives. It's been much higher in the past and I think with the next bull will go up again. What shares in the world pay 18%?  And in stables! That's useful to me. That supplements my income and I'm happy to participate in their governance.  Tokens like UNI are terrified of their fee switch because of the way securities are defined.
