Trust and regulations that are lacking in crypto make it what it is. If a collective of people are willing to offer something in exchange for something else, even just because it is a crowdsourced confidence scam, it doesn’t really ethically exonerate what you are supporting. Every person who participates in crypto is also holding up its underground international market. It was bad enough under normal markets, but the difference is between night and day with crypto. Crypto is far too easy to turn into a bunch of excuses and anonymous pseudonyms.
