          My point is more that the crypto folks have essentially all the same shitty instincts that bank people do. Except they’re in a barely regulated industry and they’re fetishizing a broken technology. On the plus side, the crypto industry is also a bit lower stakes.

          As for the artist, I have no clue where he is on the bamboozled<>grifting scale. It just seems he made friends with the wrong people.
