    the idea of crypto on its not bad on its own, its just there are a lot of bad actors agressively trying to prop up the value of some arbitrary crypto without actually selling a good or service in order to make a quick buck.

    at least teams like the one behind Axie Infinity offered a product/service. Most don’t, which is the problem.

    if your marketing essentially has to relate to other people buying into buying it, then theres a big problem.
