Stop listening to Bitcoin maxis, but don't dismiss the ones working on bringing new improvements to crypto. To keep the analogy with religion, Maxis are fundamentalists that end up misrepresenting the core morals and the doctrine of its Church. Brushing off crypto due to Maxis is no different than thinking all of Christianity is invalid because of Westboro Baptists.

I havent brushed off crypto, most of my time is just invested in ethereum now rather than bitcoin.

If this wasn't a rhetorical question, I'd be happy to answer it, but since it is, I'll let you bathe in ignorance along with everyone else.
