I think our best bet now is to inform when we have the time; or scorn/condemn vocally when we do not, as a strong signal that this is a bad idea.
My anecdotal impression is that ~80-90% of tech folks are cognizant that crypto has no applications (other than gambling / pump & dump) and that the "web3 discourse" makes zero sense, but they won't voice negative opinions due to social pressure
In crypto you can be one of two characters: the scammer or the scammee. There are only downsides in taking the side of the scammees, especially given how much VC money and clout backs the opposite side (very vindictive characters, too)
Tech relies enormously on networking and reputation. You can't just say that the emperor has no clothes when the emperor includes a collection of multi-billion dollar VC funds
I don't care about social pressure but I'm jaded. There is so much of it happening left and right and I feel tired of it. I'm in a constant state of disbelief of what's happening.
You and Miguel are exactly the type of open-source builders that I'd expect to be excited about transformative new tech platforms. I think it's pretty telling that we all share the same disbelief and exhaustion.
Not me :-) I have no problem with countering cryptofanatics. Indeed, I consider it a professional responsibility.
I have enjoyed watching your collegial pushback against this nonsense.
Is not about social pressure. People that have a stake in crypto/nft will never voice a negative opinion because that would affect their investment
So almost the entire community is just people saying to each other how good crypto is without actually believing it hoping that it will attract more investors (bigger fouls)
