Eh who cares about these cryptoschemes really i mean yeah I can understand that. They always were stinking of fraud
Shitcoins they were called iirc
I only love crypto because it evades facist gov. Seems more and more needed as time goes on
But then imo we are heading into cyberpunk reality
Who cares? The people whose opinion you specifically asked about, for starters. That's why I'm mentioning it. You were asking why people are losing their patience with cryptocurrency evangelism: that's the answer. Cryptocurrencies have few "legit" (or at least legit-seeming to most people) uses, and are now mostly associated with crime, fraud, pump and dump schemes and "speculation" (gambling by any other name).
Crypto is a fascists government's wet dream - they can literally follow the chain of transactions, and bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous at best unless you as a user take extra steps to anoymize yourself.
