That could be part of it for sure.
The ETH community seems to be pretty grounded and focused on the tech, to help it scale, among other things.
We are building a new economy, in crypto..... so not everyone is looking for the same thing, or how to help humanity en masse like some of us, liberty focused types.
Some are just focused on $$ gains and that is part of the rhythm in such things.
Thanks for the good comments today.
