Sorry, but I have to disagree here. I think crypto has always been extremely ugly and devoid of any aesthetic beauty. Even the early Bitcoin logo has been ugly ever since. And the launch videos with Vitalik during the Ethereum ICO phase are among the most ugliest promotional resources that a startup has launched. Seriously. If you move outside of crypto into other culturally relevant circles like art or music and other spaces, you will be astonished how many beautiful things there are, how many beautiful people that roam these spaces. Crypto is so incredibly ugly in terms of its surface-level properties. It's hard to put in words, especially considering how much money has flown into it.

big disagree, I think there's a lot of raw beauty in the crypto industry

organic beauty, not the manufactured beauty you see in other industries (which usually turns me off)

similar to the beauty of looking at Craigslist, seeing beyond the shitty HTML layout, and appreciating the decentralized economic activity

incentivizing things @ poidh.xyz - come chill /poidh + follow @poidhbot

yes that's what people told me when I got into crypto a decade ago, that it was stupid/dumb/trashy

market proved them wrong though, so I'd say my taste is pretty good

Since anyone can fabricate any alternatively persuasive argument nowadays with AI (including the rebuttal you posted) all that is left for me to tell you is that you don‘t have taste

Beauty in crypto isn’t polished it’s permissionless, messy, and raw. That’s the charm.
