Well said. I'm actually laughing at both the extreme delusional anti-crypto folks and the extreme pro-crypto folks since they will both be disappointed with their vision(s) of either all of them being destroyed or all projects succeeding.

Not all these projects will survive, 90% of crypto projects will die, just like the 90% of these startups failing and the fact that we are seeing the many projects and startups getting wiped out in this crash, like the dotcom crash we will see the projects that have utility continue to survive this crash.

Like in the replies to your comment, many of the angry anti-crypto folk continue to fall into the absolutism trap and the only absolute that exists: is none. Just look at the free software-foundation, after 37 years of fighting the likes of Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc of trying to get rid of all non-free software, it has completely failed and the tech bros have hijacked the point of open-source. It has gotten so bad in that realisation that there are now tech bros that are branded as 'traitors' in this noble conquest of ridding all non-free software.

Now the tech-bros are screaming at destroying all crypto-projects towards the crypto-bros. Destroying 'all of them' doesn't seem to be going well for them and they are no better than the crypto maximalists in aiming for this goal.

When startups fail, VCs lose a bunch of investor money. When crypto products fail, a bunch of retail investors/users lured by Super Bowl ads lose (sometimes) all their savings. The difference is stark. Having 90% of crypto projects fail is going to leave a trail of human misery.
