This is a great comment. Great examples of gatekeeping. I think you're right on the breakdown of "trust me" models. I also see a problem with fundamental value in the crypto space.

And I switched from a mild crypto believer to a metal stacker a couple of years ago.

I think one of the next big avalanches will be some more issues with crypto exchanges. There's a lot of people in the crypto space without the technical knowledge to properly secure their assets. I was one of the people who got burned by Mt. Gox. It wasn't everything, I had multiple wallets under my own control, but it was enough to hurt. And that wasn't a one time event.
