I don’t mean to add fuel to the fire, but all the shady shit you guys hate about crypto happens in the real world too, and a lot of it is equally bad or way worse.View quoted post on X
Crypto just does all this shit in broad daylight because it’s new, transparent and largely unregulated.
Look closely at ANY fkn industry run by humans and you’ll find the exact same greed, corruption, manipulation and exploitation. Most just have better PR teams and more experience hiding it lmao.
- Pharma - Profiting billions from human suffering.
- Healthcare - Going bankrupt just to stay alive.
- Media - Professional narrative manipulators.
- Politics - Lmao where do I even begin.
- Wall Street - Memecoins on steroids with government bailouts.
- Banking - Gambling with your money, making you pay when they lose.
- Insurance - Collect premiums for decades, fight you when it’s time to pay.
- Real estate - Turning the basic human need for shelter into an investment game.
- Collectibles - Same scammers, wash trading and artificial hype as NFTs.
- Social media - Monetizing your insecurities and manipulating your emotions.
- Food industry - Engineering addictive garbage and calling it nutrition.
- Education - Selling financial freedom through decades of debt.
- Defense industry - Making billions from humans killing each other.
- Big Tech - Your data is the product and you’re the unpaid supplier.
- AI - Building something that could replace us and praying we can control it.
- Meat industry - Industrialized animal suffering at an unimaginable scale.
The list goes on forever btw.
I’m not saying crypto is innocent. This industry is full of greedy mfers. I’m just saying crypto didn’t invent any of this shit.
The same human weaknesses have been corrupting institutions for centuries.
Traditional industries have simply had decades to normalize their bullshit and convince everyone that’s just how the world works.
The problem is not crypto, it’s what humans are willing to do to each other for money and power.
Stop blaming the crypto space or new tech instead of the people abusing it.
