Really, the "current" "crypto community" is nothing more than a bunch of braindead losers thinking that they can somehow get rich quick. I'm not sure if this has always been that way (certainly the 2017 bull run was that too), but this makes crypto even more sad that fiat, IMO. Sure, there are a couple smart developers here and there, but the average crypto user does not use crypto for it's inherent properties ("speed", "privacy"), but is merely a degenerate gambler coping with their poor financial situation.
Well, we went mainstream!
And when you go mainstream, you start encountering all kinds of people, and it's highly likely that most of the newcomers would not be the same as the previous community, from ideals to ideas, from motives to actions.
Maybe we have grown into the meme "I was <> before it was cool" way too fast or we're simply demoralized as we see unwanted changes are around us, but the way things are, it's going to get worse before it gets better. Maybe this move from Saint Elon was a warning, forget about 51% attacks, how about a 55 million Twitter followers attack, after all, Bitcoin is based on trust, when that fades so does the coin. How long and how high can we go with only the trust of those we share our own vision and not with this mainstream everyone was waiting for?
Wonder how this will end but I'm starting to think that the people who have done well for themselves in the fiat world will do so in crypto, the ones that got screwed in that system will pay twice the price here, it's not about changing systems or masters, it's about who we have for dinner!
Just like those kids on Reddit thinking that by giving Wall Street their money (buying GME stock or some shit like that) they're rebelling against the system. SMH.
I wonder how much we've killed the banks with billions in wire transfers to and from exchanges.
