I can see why you're exasperate but you can also see why sensible people don't think crypto is anything more than a toy. So far it has had no positive real world impact. Most aspects of crypto are dominated by childish memes which drives away sensible people from investing time and effort into doing something meaningful with the technology. The childish culture will have to change for the technology to have any meaningful impact.

i generally agree, but

> So far it has had no positive real world impact

lots of opposition politicians in repressive regimes are currently funded using bitcoin, so be careful with generalizations

Then I'm looking forward to the positive outcomes and the crypto community celebrating their wins instead of hawking more pixelated boob NFTs.
