It's the ecosystem domination by crypto bros, they ruined it for everyone.

A lot of hammer looking for nails and the micro-financialization of everything. "Crypto" has been captured by Wallstreet and the oligarchs, Trump is using it for corruption. How much money did they print while crowing about what you find in the Bitcoin genesis block?

"allowing more people to participate in the financial markets" (*hit like this is a lie, it's really about being able to middleman and take a cut of every transaction, or leave them as the bag holders)

HN will find interest in various blockchain technologies extracted from the crypto. Things like using ZKP to have online safety while preserving privacy, that is an interesting intersection of HN fav topics.

Case in point, I find that Google is pushing on ZKP interesting and exciting: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/safety-secu...
