I worked at a crypto company and left after I realized that 99% of crypto are scams. Either people get rugpulled or they get their wallets emptied by scammers, and I don't think Apple would have survived if the iPhone was a hotbed of scams. There's a tiny sliver of activity which isn't purely scams, like BTC or ETH but even then there's almost no real use case except the Greater Fool Theory, and I just don't think that's sustainable. I think at some point the entire industry is going to get rugpulled because there's still no inherent demand except selling it to someone else for more money.

Yup. A lot of people got rich, but I can’t see it lasting much longer

I said this back in 2012, and I've been waiting ever since... That's why I decided to join the crypto company but left after seeing it from the inside of the actual space.
