"This is just a tool, don't care how people use it" is sociopathic behaviour

Developers and community builders must design and build their protocols to favour positive outcomes, or they'll continue infested by scum of the earth as crypto has for the last decade

We must do a whole lot better, not turn a blind eye

There are some places I agree with this (protocol design with an eye towards compliance/net positive outcomes), but there are places I disagree due to current regulatory regime behaviors (and the fact I can't even clarify this further shows how utterly broken things are).

Sure, you do the best with what's available and things will be far from perfect; the problem is when you don't care at all - which is how 99% crypto protocols are designed

I think we're referring to the same protocol with respect to the latter, and yeah, it's definitely a deaddove.jpg outcome there. My own dev work has had to be slower than people would generally like (as people like things right nownownow), but extreme thought has to be given to doing the right thing even if way harder
