I think one of the most dangerous aspects of crypto no one talks about is the target rich environment of never-ending technical rabbit holes that can become an obsessive special interest that never ever matters big picture.

Too many bros have I seen disappear into their particular crypto thing that virtually no one else understood or cared about to the neglect of everything else.

Plus in crypto you get the curtain of "they are genius and must understand the nuance far more than me" so nobody tries to stop you.
