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.

I read your post, and I think many of the points you made about the current state of crypto are fair. That being said, I’m curious—if you’re familiar with the small percentage of projects that have real potential, have you considered highlighting those? I’ve noticed that positive and innovative projects don’t always get the attention they deserve, but I still find it valuable to explore the positive sides because I believe they can outweigh the short-term challenges.
