Profit maximilism will hinder the "crypto" space until it is properly regulated, and then it will die because it will be searching for a problem it solves.

10y ago I believed that people were generally good, then I found BTC and thought this could be a great idea, I really want to see what evolves from this proof of concept.

What evolved was societal garbage, and crooks looking to get rich on the backs of regular people.

Today, like back in the 2010s, my idea of getting "rich" is having the space and resources not to rely on "boss" to tell me what to do, and have the freedom to learn and build what I want.

That doesn't take much money, and crypto for me was always a movement that had the potential to be something more than playing online poker, but with less of a time commitment.
