I have been thinking about this a lot. I will confess, I have been philosophically inspired by the cryptospace, but I also have acted opportunistically at times. I think the merits of decentralization in many areas (such as energy) could be a great thing. I can certainly appreciate why cryptocurrencies matter, but I also can be seduced by pretty graphs.
Perhaps, this happens in all movements? There are a core group of purists that are really the torch bearers, and then there are these posers or hipsters or opportunists that glom onto the movement? I am not sure.
One way or another, I do find my own opportunism slightly unsettling, because I know the backbone behind this movement is real change.
I assume you saw that Vitalik threatened to leave the cryptospace if people didn't grow up a bit and get back to the roots of the movement? You're obviously not alone in this frustration!
Thank you for taking time to leave such an elaborate and honest comment. I think you are right that this happens in all movements. The core message gets diluted the more it is spread among the masses.
Your assumption that I read Vitalik's comments is correct. Thank you for sharing this with me again. :)
You're most welcome! I look forward to reading more from you. It looks like you're very deep into the world of cryptocurrency, so I will have to follow your adventures closely!
Thank you for following me! : )
Absolutely! I was happy to. I had a scroll through some of your content and saw a lot of interesting things about the cryptospace. Also, your tagline was very intriguing.
Anyways, I am very glad you noticed. I look forward to more content and conversations with you.
