Ahh the great hivemind pendulum where if something is hyped and has some notable cons, it’s time to throw it away completely and resist it without prejudice.

This is happening with crypto too. To me, it just signals that a person is highly perceptive to adopting whatever the hivemind tells them to think without question.

Obviously crypto and AI have some properties that make them utterly horrible (especially in the hands of bad people). But they also have some properties that have the capability to revolutionize or accomplish certain things like no other technology can.

No one seems to acknowledge this dichotomy when they’re unflinchingly under the influence of the hivemind. For example, I’m 100% positive that this comment will get downvoted heavily.
