Maybe a corollary: robust systems generate enough surplus value to feed parasites and still be viewed as legitimate and net beneficial

Baby’s first major scam 🥲

Incredibly sad but also a sign of growth and opportunity in this ecosystem

Reminds me of this conversation between @maurelian.eth and @0xstark.eth — can’t avoid this stuff without killing the goodness flourishing 

Just have to learn from it and channel resources well (maybe fewer shitcoins?)

Have to find the silver linings, otherwise you’ll get disillusioned and churn out of this industry (speaking for myself here)

Tools are used for good and bad, but it’s up to each of us to choose the ones we use

Agreed, but in this industry, outside of stablecoins and to some extent BTC as an SoV, every “tool” ends up pandering to our more basal desires 

Token launchers for example are just ERC-20s wrapped in an interface, but that wrapper fuels speculation than anything else

It’s a waiting game to see the real value emerge, and in that period one can easily burnout (I’m personally keeping the faith, but it’s not easy)
