When i look around at all the positive innovations cryptocurrency has failed to deliver, it really does seem like they invented a currency exclusively useful for doing crimes.

I’ve never see a “good” crypto millionaire/billionaire.

They’re always a smug racist/sexist/misogynist/ablist tech bro with fucked up visions of the future.

Hm, is that perhaps how you feel about all billionaires? Can you name one you think is "good"?

I've made some money in the space, have kids and a family, and care deeply about special needs and access (partner is a former SpEd teacher, I've volunteered and donate to related causes), and have invested heavily in reproductive rights. Does that make me "good"?

In my experience, and by my values, there are plenty of good and neutral people in the space. They aren't often the ones that ham it up for the media, but it should be obvious why that is.

Probably not a crypto millionaire/billionaire.
