Why even be part of these communities? It's possible to buy cryptocurrency and avoid all the hype and negativity.

The point of a currency is to enable a society.

A frequent claim about cryptocurrencies is that they can enable a better society than fiat.

The proof is in the pudding.

I’m not sure why you’d make this comment since nobody is talking about preventing anyone from transacting.
