"If I want to take crypto seriously, I need to see an aggressive cultural shift that addresses its plague - attracting grifters

I want to see a majority be hostile towards projects/founders that don't have a clear roadmap towards useful sustainability"

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?

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

The latter. Freedom tech allows unchained human impulse. Humans require checks and balances lest we succumb to our inner demons. In an industry that doesn’t have a way to police itself and the actual police have been told to fuck off (the president and those in power are in on it) what would you expect.

100% agree with this take. It’s inevitable because it’s human nature
