the beauty is that “crypto twitter” has absolutely zero impact on the importance of crypto technology. that’s why i think these “crypto isn’t cool anymore” posts are genuinely baffling. the offer is an alternative permissionless financial system, programmable money, etc. what the incumbents choose to do on top is up to them but ultimately has ZERO effect on its existence crypto twitter is much more similar to a sneaker twitter, peak wsb, what is “fintwit” right now etc. it gets hot, with the market, is eventually invaded by sociopaths (cc geeks & mops) and then gets grifted torn to shreds. the geeks and innovators evolve, harden and purge the cretins and then decide to persevere or move elsewhere. unclear what happens to “crypto twitter” but don’t think it really matters the value proposition of this community is financial discourse online. it will evolve, go niche <> broad whatever but it will never disappear. because people want to make money and the value of an audience will never go away, i do however think it’s important to recognize the destruction of this place has rapidly accelerated. but does it really matter? no the beauty is that the sharpest will continue to share ideas online bc the incentive is too high and the skills gained from participating have no bounds. most valuable education money can’t buy my current belief is that the quality will continue to segregate itself into more friction based communities. tg groups etc. my stream chat for example. it’s imperative i actively purge and chase out the grifters or the entire group is compromised crypto is not crypto twitter. anyone that believes crypto can’t win without “twitter” doesn’t truly know why they are here and should be chased out. it doesn’t, isn’t and is never supposed to be cool is the federal reserve cool? is the gold standard cool? is the fucking american highway system cool? no it just is. the most important financial plumbing since the invention of the dollar. most people are here primarily for social reasons and have an asymmetrically impactful voice because that’s how posting online works there has never been a more important time to be financially literate and participate in markets. it is not too late to reclaim your informational flow and leave the cesspool of knife fighting for scraps behind
