In five years or ten, we'll look back on crypto as this weird tule type aberration. It represents all the cult like aspects that can attend the stuff and multiplie. There's a lot o manipulation, and there's a lot of reasons why we shouldn't trust the stuff. We need to elevate their work and the work of people like david columbia who have been making these arguments for some time. But maybe in a few years it will still be a case in which they're not so funny anymore.
