The worldcoin thing really bugs me too. Any time there is crypto, somebody is scamming somebody else. Worldcoin is no different in this regard.

Did you figure out the motives behind Bitcoin too while doing your research?
despite being invented for non-scam purposes, it turns out to be a productivity multipler for scammers more than anyone else.

and also Bitcoin might be the exception that proves the rule - every other chain or token is managed by a few insiders taking get-rich-quick marks for a ride.

I think it'd be really funny if Bitcoin was originally supposed to also be a rug pull but Satoshi died suddenly or something, and so Bitcoin was just the scam that never managed to complete itself or something.
