I’m tired.

Everything I love about software: craft, care, community is being gutted.

AI slop PRs for airdrops. Fake activity to juice metrics for retro funding. DAO politics and governance favors. OSS reduced to a game of farming points and politics.

Crypto didn’t liberate anything. It just strapped a token to every soul and called it progress.

I vented to a friend. They said: "That’s not crypto. That’s money. Money corrupts everything it touches."

And yeah maybe that's the problem.

As time passes the case of a crypto critique becomes clearer and clearer. We need more criticism and self-reflection.

The direction is wrong.

I would say money doesn't corrupt things it touches, money builds

All the crypto industry is based on money, and without money & the benefits of "creating good things that can be selled" none of the things like computers, softwares, medicines, etc. would be existed
(at least at current prices)

If this is about Big moneys that pursuing fast proftis, this behavior continues as long is it's profitable, and profitable for inverstors means there are users still benefiting from this

And if it's about scammers, they're not just in crytpo, they are in every places that can scam
