I find the recent push to frame crypto as an ecological fight mildly interesting as it clearly appears to be somewhat coordinated. That does not mean it is not true. But it is genuinely hard to not to wonder who is setting that on the agenda.

Everything is a conspiracy with crypto promoters.

Conspiracy is an interesting concept in my mind. Isn't it interesting that claiming someone is a conspiracy theorist is a way to dismiss arguments now without attempting to even consider those arguments? It is a very useful tactic.

That is not an argument and until there's evidence it's a conspiracy theory.
