Illusionary thinking on crypto bros side leading to ignorance regarding the massiv energy and GPU consumption.

People saying things like Bitcoin is inflation save and ignore that Deflation is also a problem.

Or saying people should just use their own wallet but ignoring how many people lost access to their crypto due to this.

Or how it can't be censored but ignoring how countries make laws against it.

Just to tell us that they do crypto basically for the 3th world people who need a stable currency instead of just saying how it is: they like to get rich fast and actually don't care about anything.

Lucky enough Bitcoin is not hard but to complicated for the masses otherwise this virus would have eaten us by now (paperclip )

And lucky again: instead of having to read all the crypto bro shit every day we have ai which actually does things. It's much more interesting than reading the same green washing and other lies left and right

Everything you write here cast the "crypto bros" in the worst light possible, leaving no room for a middle ground. But I am probably being too hopeful, your username considered.
I would not complain if we as a society have test nodes and talk about scenarios and do everything besides using crypto in the current state with real money.

Or in a way we're the money thing is more for overhead or play money without a chance for pump'n'dump/get rich fast and similar shit.

And than introducing it later when things are actually stable and reasonable.
