"If I want to take crypto seriously, I need to see an aggressive cultural shift that addresses its plague - attracting grifters

I want to see a majority be hostile towards projects/founders that don't have a clear roadmap towards useful sustainability"

Alas, in the 2+ years since, the vast majority in crypto have pivoted sharply towards full on greed, degeneracy, nihilism, and crime. Of course, there's a small minority that continues working on useful sustainability, and I have the utmost respect for them, but that keeps getting smaller by the day.

what systemic forces have shaped this shift & is it an inevitable phase in the evolution of disruptive technologies or a reflection of our deeper flaws the reside in innate human nature?

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

There were some clear trends that emerged post Covid, increase in gambling being one. Solana and especially pump seem to leaning into this for profit. Many popular online experiences today (web2 and web3) seem to be intentionally targeting weaknesses in human nature like addiction/gambling, and chasing cheap dopamine.
