But, aren't you folks web2?
For the first time my anger over crypto moves into genuine concern.<p>Is an entire generation of young people experiencing a kind of &quot;pokemonisation&quot; of crypto well into early adulthood?<p>In other words, is a generation of 20-somethings wasting the better part of that decade on this tech, in these scams?<p>If so, this feels new (?). We&#x27;re not talking about the chain-letter crazes of the 20s&#x2F;30s, the housewife pyramid schemes of the 60&#x2F;70s, the ponzi schemes of traditional finance.<p>We&#x27;re talking about a &quot;pyrimidization&quot; of technical skill acquisition itself, wherein we dont teach classical mechanics -- that&#x27;s too &quot;physics2&quot; -- but crypto-mechanics which solves no problems of the prior, and charges.<p>If this is happening the issues around crypto are perhaps much more severe than I, at least, initially thought. Yes, $100bn will be lost in a vareity of scams deposited, in the end, into the accounts of charlatans, children and gurus. BUT, meh, so it goes.<p>But a cultural take-over of the technical skill space by a crypto religion is far more series and needs addressing ASAP. Someone needs to explain to the developing generation that this isnt the future.
