Half a year on from my final and most hated blog post, have things changed? Unfortunately not, crypto remains among the most morally bankrupt industries, and far and away the worst I've personally participated in. Most people in this industry are perpetually in denial, with negligible effort to change things for a better culture. Yes, vile degeneracy has been temporarily muted relative to March 2024, but this is only because the shitcoins are down 99% since then. I see no evidence that any lesson has been learned, and the same pandemonium is very likely to repeat. Obviously, I still highly respect the 0.1% of this industry that's actually net positive for humanity, and needless to say, all of this is just my personal opinion. I still hope, one day, at least some of the remaining 99.9% of the industry will share those values.

must be nice to have the comfort to sneer at the “vile degeneracy” of gambling instead of participating

lmao you don't need comfort to look down on gambling. gambling has been looked down on from the quran's prohibition on "divining arrows" to a perennial characteristic of the villainous parent (alcoholic, violent, gambler). this is why we have the phrase "inveterate gambler." because gamblers tend to, in the long run, lose money to the detriment of themselves and their families.
