One of the themes in pro-crypto writings has been the idea that as long as you “do your own research” then the bad things won’t happen on your chosen cryptocurrency. The prevailing idea (among pro-crypto spaces) is that bad things only happen to other people who deserve them because they didn’t do the right research.
Recently we’re seeing the bad things happen in more and more mainstream chains. Even famous NFT proponents have been losing their NFTs to scams at a shocking rate. I wonder if this will drive people back to simpler chains like Bitcoin, or if we’re going to see enough bad things (including crashes) that it just sucks the enthusiasm out of the crypto space entirely.
