Technocratism and Nihilism
The path of Crypto is like "walking a straight line blindfolded, turning left if you feel it's veering to the left, and turning left if you feel it's veering to the right."
We easily miss the early "crypto era," when everyone was full of conviction, idealism prevailed, changing the world was not just an "empty slogan," technocratism was paramount, and everyone was willing to pay the price.
