Same as another poster. It's so obviously a scam I have nothing to do with it. I'm increasingly amazed how screwed up the world is getting, like how more and more people and businesses jump onto something, obviously out of greed or fomo, that is so objectively a huge scam.

There was a post not long ago about our obligation as people who know better to speak out about this stuff. Thankfully I've explained to my parents what a scam it is and they have not been taken in, and my siblings agree with me so I don't have to waste time fighting it. But there are so many people being exploited - some maybe deserving.

Tldr, it's an amoral industry that is literally running a criminal scam, you have to decide if you're cool making money off that.

Like it's morally worse than dealing drugs or lots of other "crimes"

At least drug dealing provides a product: drugs/inebriation/escapism - it's something. After all these years of crypto, I still haven't figured out what the product is. The crypto zealots talk about government-free financial transactions, but none of the crypto commercials/marketing ever mentions that.

Crypto provides a way to launder money, sell drugs, etc., so it is "something" by similar measure.
