Also, crypto and blockchain has an ENORMOUS negative ecological and energetic impact; I think that AIs are worse on that, but I’d still say that if AIs are the number one, cryptos are the number two.

And then you have the worst part: incel cryptobros, the face of crypto. And with them, lots of scams (even within stablished coins), sects and all kind of grotesque things like that.

Moreover, crypto is somewhat exclusionary and elitist, because it assumes that you have a somewhat decent hardware that, with the current hardware problems, isn’t the case anymore for almost anyone, and even before that, a lot of folks hadn’t the opportunity. Yet it’s said to be democratic and free (as in Freedom). There’s a clear contradiction.
