I’m tired.
Everything I love about software: craft, care, community is being gutted.
AI slop PRs for airdrops. Fake activity to juice metrics for retro funding. DAO politics and governance favors. OSS reduced to a game of farming points and politics.
Crypto didn’t liberate anything. It just strapped a token to every soul and called it progress.
I vented to a friend. They said: "That’s not crypto. That’s money. Money corrupts everything it touches."
And yeah maybe that's the problem.
As time passes the case of a crypto critique becomes clearer and clearer. We need more criticism and self-reflection.
The direction is wrong.
In 10 days flat, DPRK has bridged all ~500,000 ETH (~$1.3 billion USD) stolen from Bybit to Bitcoin.
Kim Jong Un sends his deepest gratitude to @THORChain, @asgardex, and @exchcx.
Without their faux-cypherpunk grandstanding + blatant lies, this would have never been possible.
