cryptocurrencies are super useful even if they didn't pan out exactly how expected and they fill a lot of niches but the bad publicity of the constant scams, hacks and collapses are destroying it

There's a reason the press gives the bad shit more attention.

there is absolutely no will inside the industry to actually fight this, everybody is still just moneygrubbing as fast as they can.the tech people are building amazing shit, constant advances in applied cryptography but it just gets overshadowed

@Hoss that's definitely true but it's also true that there really is a ton of terrible scams

@Moon @Hoss Indeed. But the press is also the mouth of sauron so it's not surprising that any positive stuff isn't even pointed out.

@mangeurdenuage @Hoss there is also a slow but steady centralization and regulatory capture happening in the exchanges.

@Moon @Hoss There's so many fronts to push against. It feels like they always have 10 coup in advance, like they're aided by somekind of AI for some time. Like since 2012 when the smartphone apocalypse happened and data generation exploded.

@Moon I'm personally hurt by this: I looked at bitcoin long, long, long before it was cool, saw that everyone were moneygrubbers and scammers, and moved on.I would have grubbed *so much* money if I'd picked up bitcoin at that point, but the corruption was too evident: people were offering goods and services for bitcoin and getting censored because they were taking bitcoin for 'too little', people were saying economically crazy stuff like "bitcoin's value is derived from its energy costs".On the other hand, bad publicity is publicity. I'm hearing a lot less about crypto in general since Ethereum left proof-of-work to escape the "burning jungles for NFTs" meme

@Moon@shitposter.club in the last few years crypto has seemed to fully split into smart engineers who need funding to develop a project so they staple cryptocurrency to it, and the money rabid people

@apropos shitheads on this network whine that they can still hate Ethereum forever because of all the electricity it wasted before the switch happened.

@nik I mean the actual chains themselves are constantly improving. for example using math proofs to verify tons more transactions in less computing power, or doing smart contracts using WASM instead of the shitty Ethereum EVM.

@mangeurdenuage The tor network has centralized authorities in order to mitigate attacks that a solution hasn't been found in full p2p.The authorities really are limited to informing clients which flags each relay has (can set Stable, Valid, Running, BadExit etc for example) and the clients decide which relays to use from the flags.You can run your own directory authority if you want and you can also configure or patch the client to respond in the wanted ways to certain flags.

@Moon memecoins are going to be done done after the next bullrun (if it even materializes). Guvments don't like competition and ultimately people still need to eat or are forced to pay taxes.

The last time they accidentally gave the masses something they really shouldn't have, the Internet became a thing.

They had to give Tor to the masses or they wouldn't have been able to use it for whatever glowshit they use it for.

@zxcvfadsf @Moon not many. I wasn't talking about the technology but the people around the technology. It takes a lot more effort to evaluate tech than to evaluate the people promoting it. When the people promoting it are all really obviously bad, I feel like my time should be spent elsewhere.This happens all the time and sometimes it has painful results. I've recognized other cases of it over the years, including when I was on the other side, having to explain to people that there's value here even if you have to step past incredible repulsive people to find it, but I can't think of many at the moment ... Rust, I guess.
