I have absolutely no faith in crypto as a force for good. The decentralisation and crypto anarchism ideas that drew me to the space are dead. Crypto capitulated completely to the US government. The grift is everywhere. The extraction has reached new levels. It’s just a centralized, PVP casino.

Dumb and greedy money is part of the game. That's why crypto is so powerful. Everytime you try to have an alternative system and make sure you exclude all the reality of the dominant one, then you actually kill your alternative. Making it welcoming for degen usage is a bold move. Short term annoying definitely, but long term if you survive while taking dumbness and greed into account, then you will succeed.
