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?

I think we saw that more than 2 years ago, let's not forget COVID time, to me that was peak time. At least now we are starting to see real products getting built, and not copy cats of old DeFi projects, with not economic principles, mimicking the worst of 2008. Sadly when people criticises meme coins or other casino behaviour, they get heavily criticised, until is too late (or the scammers have made enough in a cycle). Only solution is active information/ education about the risks, build and demonstrate real products, good products, that counter balance the other reality. The worst thing, is that good ideas, getting hijacked by scammers, leave real projects with no source of funding, and slowly kills everything from within.

Honestly it doesn’t feel that different to me from 2021. Just bigger, so more room for the extreme outliers (like the sadistic pump fun video stuff) to be worse

Full throated devotion to censorship resistance, solo stakers who build locally, further decentralization... all far more noble pursuits being sacrificed at the altar of throughput because people are afraid of solana because of pump.fun

Crypto is a natural home for people who are desperate for a better life, and unfortunately the desperate are the most vulnerable to greed and grifters. I don't see why this won't be a persistent theme in crypto indefinitely. However, that doesn't affect my optimism for crypto. We're giving the entire world financial freedom, and no system is perfect. I think this is analogous to how elderly people are more vulnerable to scams. It's a problem, but it's not exactly a bad thing that people are able to live long enough to grow elderly.

I’m of the opinion that dismissal isn’t necessary to crypto’s sustainability. All we need is one project to fulfill crypto’s transformative promise, where its positive attributes are made undeniably obvious and widely distributed— that’s when the tides will shift in the other direction.

coincides a lot since "Lemon" took over twitter. CT influence over crypto went unmeasurable heavy, the airdrop farming, the distro of coins, the scams and shang-a-langs proliferation, advertising, the shift from sub r/ discussions to public gizmos All while twitter itself is going down the Dante's 9 circles of hell
