There’s definitely been improvements in cryptocurrencies since Bitcoin was launched. I’m a big fan of Cardano for example which is led by a scientific community and not apes posting diamond hands and rockets. Sadly it seems like the network effects and “brand” of Bitcoin is winning over better technology. This has to change before we spend a significant portion of our power capacity on a money system. I don’t want aliens to see us like that when they come visit.
