The problem I have tearing crypto apart is that I don’t really understand it technically at all detailed level. My objections are all philosophical. It uses up a ton of energy so people can speculate and do arbitrage. How is that worth it? I’ve used it to pay journalists in Afghanistan and appreciate that but I’d rather all this energy be spent ending sanctions. What am I missing?

I would say start thinking about the possibilities of decentralized blockchains. Crypto is a strong financial tool which lives on a blockchain. The power of being able to do P2P transaction worldwide is crazy. It can challenge intermediaries and corrupt government. It will make e.g. the financial system more inclusive.

But currently the only way this power is shown really is stablecoins. Which are maybe not most native invention. But a good start. Look into DePin projects. This is something outside of the financial word which can e.g. make computing more inclusive.
