Stolfi has been around the crypto scene a long time, long enough to have gotten a pretty good idea of what motivates people.

The news media did not create the gold rush mentality around crypto, it has been there almost from the beginning. Go and read the bitcointalk forums for evidence, if you want.

I have been involved in crypto since 2013, I get it. But I have given up engaging in these conversations. You either get the anti-statist thesis and economic liberation angle or you don't. If you don't then OK, best of luck.

I like having spending power that isn't immediately based on CIA organized crime or boomers at the Fed/Treasury
