The question is whether any of the cryptocurrency companies are actually able to deliver that. Traditional MLMs always claimed to be doing something noble like being healthier or democratizing real-estate, too, and the cryptocurrency pitches notably revolve around people selling things which they know cannot solve the stated problem but promise that they’ll figure out how to built a viable system after you buy in and make them rich first.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find that if given the choice any given crypto company would gladly become “the man” they would seem to be fighting against.

I feel like an awful lot of the market could be summed up as “Wouldn’t it be great if <ordinary activity> had microtransactions like a pay-to-win mobile game?”

99% of all crypto companies are scams looking pump the price and sell their premine.

Bitcoin is the only crypto that matters.
