I don't think that this view can withstand any sort of scrutiny...

The opposite view, that there are some mythical "true builders" is the one that can't withstand, and hasn't withstood, any sort of scrutiny.

At best those "true builders" can't understand reality around them (like all the "builders" building tickets or property rights with NFTs). At anything below best it's a sea of scammers and grifters.

Oh, no I didn't talk about the "mythical builders" I talked about the actual builders.

The crypo space has become very big in the past two cycles but every techie should be easily able to pick a decentralized chain, look at its community and identify those who build from those who grift.

And those are?

Ah. "Just look at the discords" argument again. I'm having this conversation in the sibling thread.

Let me summarise:

This is equivalent to "just sift through millions tons of shit before maybe finding something worth looking at (which invariably isn't worth looking at)".

Me and others have already told you on multiple posts, the ecosystem is too big to just start pointing out random stuff.

Also, I really could not be bothered to go out of my way to compile examples just to feed a troll like you. DYOR and please stop perpetuating closed discussions.

I think that it can, given articles like this showing that established profitable companies are dumping NFT strategy as quickly as possible.

Established profitable companies have a track record of missing the point when it comes to doing decentralized things. For one a lot of them just fall for VC backed tech which in most cases isn't even a legitimate decentralized network.

Sure we can blame grifters for this too somehow
