I doubt most of tech would appreciate being lumped in with crypto, which should be the first sign that your take is a little off.

IE if you think you are just "tech being tech" but lots and lots of tech is like "uh, no, we aren't like you at all, please don't lump us in with you", that should tell you something.

Beyond that, your take seems so divorced from reality i'm not even sure where to begin.

I don't agree at all with your view of crypto's goals being bigger than tech's[1] , and even if i did, that the level of mess is proportionality similar, that this is a normal/good thing, etc.

These are sort of fundamental issues so it's gonna be hard to get somewhere.

I guess i'll just say if this is the best defense you've got of why what's going on is okay and good for the world, then you deserve everything crypto is getting and will get in the future.

[1] Crypto has always been a subset of tech's goals, and is even framed that way 99% of the time in presentations/etc. It's very hard for me to see how you can even argue otherwise.
