crypto folks out there like "is this anything?" while searching around for the next narrative to draw in new bagholders

@molly0xfff Those "crypto" folks have turned it into such a loaded, ugly word, too. Just a couple days ago I saw a post where someone was initially panicking because because they were pulling down #golang mods and saw Go's crypto mod in the list. They thought they were getting malware.

I also have to clarify to many people when I mention I work in crypto I mean the good kind - the kind that keeps them safe.

Like cryptozoologists, maybe we should refer to them as cryptogrifters.

@heaths @molly0xfff totally agree with it.

Even if I like what @molly0xfff is doing, I still like web3.
But the cryptogrifters turned it as well into a loaded, ugly word.

The original concept behind the web3 (from the ethereum project, not the W3C) is really nice. But all those grifters transformed into a get rich quick scheme and it sucks.
