There was no way that coin was going to sustain itself like Spez claimed it would.
People weren't going to buy crypto coins, just to give content creators medals. And the idea that medals would give more power to these people, except not really and only in polls.
This was such a jigsaw puzzle of shit, before you realized that each community was supposed to make their own coin that could only be used in that community.
At that point, it is a coin trying to be as complex as possible, without really doing anything that you paid money for.

Sums up the state of crypto pretty well
I do think that crypto does have a place in the future, but not as a security, which is the current mindset behind most crypto.
Where others deposit large amounts of wealth into a pile... and that money is supposed to grow infinitely....
That's not how you use a currency like the USD or British pound are used. Money is a tool for us to understand the value of our items that we exchange or our labor that we create.
It has to circulate like a blood flow through an economy. And crypto is treating it more like a blood clot.
I think cryptocurrency has the best shot at relevance as a medium for internet tipping. Unlike processing most financial transactions its comparatively quite easy to accept tips and donations via cryptocurrency plus it allows very good portability between exchanges if you setup your infrastructure correctly. Almost everything else people and companies try to use it for appears to be nothing more than a grift of some sort, or at the very least profiting off of someone getting grifted
I guess people are just tired of the currently rigged stock market. Wall Street and Hedge Funds have made it such that they never lose. It's not cool that the SEC is not unbiased and even the U.S. Govt has interest in making anybody lose vs. the incumbents.
Was Spez the one backing crypto? I thought that was Alex Ohanian the other living founder.
