The inevitability is only perceived by people with stakes on it. For everyone else, crypto is just another fad that has been promising wonders for over a decade and still has showed nothing for it.

It’s not about being luddites, but not being fooled by “if you don’t think this is great it’s because you don’t understand it”

Good point. Still, it feels very different from other techs that also seemed somewhat inevitable? Like, regardless of what they were called, I don't recall this level of "hand-held computers in your pocket are a scam and will never be a thing?"

I suppose it's like, regardless of what you think of it, the fact is that there's a ton of money going into this crypto thing. It will be a significant thing, full stop. And the tone doesn't seem like "how will we ride this out," but instead sort of sticking your finger in your ears and going blah blah crypto will never be a thing?
