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.

I made the mistake of putting my own hopes & ideals onto crypto back in ‘21 and feel like i learned this lesson. It’s decidedly not a force for good.  It’s as corrupt and meaningless as tradfi.  While some do use it as a force for good, it’s without meaning; as useful for bad as it is good.  It’s just a tool.
