'People were sucked into schemes': Inside Molly White’s campaign against crypto
People have really short memories.<p>Circa 2000, there was a website called &quot;fuckedcompany.com&quot; [0] that chronicled the failing dot-coms of that era, after the dot-com bubble &quot;burst&quot;. The website encapsulated the glee that people felt at pointing out what they considered stupid dot-com ideas and internet companies that failed to capitalize on what many people consider over-hyped promises.<p>There were a lot of stupid ideas during the 2000 dot-com. There were also a lot of companies and founders that started their companies during this time that are stalwarts of the internet and general computing industry.<p>There are a lot of bad ideas in the cryptocurrency space. There also might be a lot of good ideas. I would urge people to be a little more circumspect about cryptocurrency technologies.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fucked_Company" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fucked_Company</a>
