You think all of the news about crypto fraud might have a chilling effect on the excitation?

lol same as it ever was

not really. before, fraud claims were from the non-believers. now, the fraud claims are from the SEC and other government agencies. one can be swatted away with clever tweets, er, xes (what are tweets called now?), the other sees people going to jail.

I've been completely out of the loop, but please tell me it's USDT?

still plenty of frauds either way, just bigger scale.

Would be nice if they all get locked up, and/or decentralized regulation/vetting networks arise

Tweets are now Xcretions.

Nope.

If thanks to those technologies new hyper-efficient compute and network hardware becomes the norm, and there is no meaningful difference between decentralized hosting and centralized hosting of services/apps/games, crypto will likely see renewed interest.

People are still unhappy with the decisions of single IP owners controlling the platforms and games they use on a daily basis. Decentralized ledger technology, whether blockchain or not, offers an alternative.
