Capitalism looks bad on paper and we are having hellish landscape in it and pretend it’s working.

Cryptocurrencies current landscape is just same as the current financial system indeed. Cypherpunk ideals are long gone.

I agree capitalism sucks in a lot of ways, but the reduction in global poverty is at least correlatively linked with the spread of capitalism. Not sure what "hells cape" you mean, but it feels like hyperbole.

(Also just to point out, Communism isn't an "alternative" to capitalism, but actually the conclusion to it... on paper) - That is, even if you're right, Capitalism is required to achieve communism... so it seems "hellscape" is the only way.
