Crypto indeed is a weird af place. I hate 99.99% of the projects and the people here. The culture is insufferable. But there is space to build projects that actually help working people.
Why though? It's just tech. It's neither good nor bad. It can be used for good (public goods funding, donations to causes that might otherwise be blocked, paying artists a la patreon, governance voting via DAOs, etc) or bad (speculative markets, BAYC, memecoins, rugpulls, etc).
Two things, really. First, I'm not a tech guy. I'm a writer with mild interest in technology and science. The whole thing is drowned in jargon and it honestly feels to me like a lot of it is intentional. If something a. Is very complicated; b. Doesn't hook me; and c. It is not my job to know it... I can't be arsed to research it.
Second, and more relevant if less respectable -- Negative emotional vibes. Too many bad experiences with The Worst People On The Internet (tm) being all over crypto.
Both of those reasons are valid and fair.
