I consider myself a centrist in this debate. I don't think "crypto" technology is one giant scam (though there is a lot of scamming taking place), and I don't think it has delivered on most of its promises either (I suspect this will change in time).

In your comment I read rhetoric that attempts to de-legitimize the other side by questioning if they are even authentic members of your community. Your comment is not "wrong" but it paints with a very broad brush (something I see a lot of crypto fans doing all the time). It certainly places you in one of two sincere-but-polarized political groups.

I wish more people would foster nuanced attitudes about topics such as this. It makes for more interesting discussion.
