Crypto is like the dotcom bubble. Lots of scams, lots of half finished (but well intentioned) crap, and a few projects that might survive into the future and become something useful beyond being a casino with constantly changing odds.

Rust is particularly good for crypto because 1) it is very efficient and 2) ownership semantics let you model things in a way that prevents many of the issues plaguing solidity and etherum.

There will be a crash though, and a lot of the money on Rust will evaporate, but I think this early push will ensure the language survives well into the future.
