Definitely agree - it probably says more about me than crypto, but the primary thing that turned me off of crypto for so long was the people telling me how world-changing it was going to be that had clear incentives to pump up their own project.

Weirdly enough, though, I do think that's a superpower of crypto: it encourages people to recruit others to a team that's trying to achieve something. Figuring out how to co-opt that superpower for good is the hard part.
