Crypto is all a giant scam. The fact that we're still searching for a use case beyond naked speculation after 13 years is beyond farce. The tech is rotten. The economics is rotten. The politics is rotten. The whole crypto idea is rotten to the core.
Actually, this is not a prediction.
Just detect fragilities: a vulnerable bridge MUST eventually break. An incompetent pilot MUST eventually crash the plane. A Ponzi scheme MUST eventually collapse.
A cryptohead MUST eventually wash your car.
All about asymmetries.
The American tech sector is probably set back a decade because of the weird economic distortions of crypto. How many next Googles or mRNA vaccines never got funded because the money went to fund a techno-obscurantist Ponzi scheme for some VC bros to dump on the public instead.
