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.

totally, agree that this just furthers existing divisiveness but that’s also not unique to crypto, many people are heavily prejudiced against AI along similar left/right fault lines the difference is that AI is (at present) more useful to the average person so we have work to do at the app layer imo
