This is a prime example of the holier-than-thou sentiment that's part and parcel of the crypto community.

This is a fantastic art project that showcases exactly what value cryptocurrency brings to the fore. That you're acting this way towards someone looking to make a side-hustle work on a website about side-hustles is incredible self-delusion.

Well, first I don't really consider myself part of the crypto community, although i do own a bit own a bit of one coin. Second, I wasn't addressing the website/project at all. I was addressing the comment that was advocating for the users to be "exploited for fun and profit", and that not doing so was a characteristic of a "loser".

If not exploiting your users is considered "holier than thou", then yeah I guess that's an accurate description of me.
