| The crypto bit is an interesting filter. Wether the developers you found are true believers, grifters in on the scam, or just mercenaries for hire welding crates, they can't not have an opinion on cryptocurrency so my question to you is how much of that do they bring to work? Are there coffee chats about Ayn Rand and politics or do they steer clear of any of that. |

| I think you have a very skewed view of what people interested in cryptocurrency are like. |

Given that it's a heavenily gift for criminals (including those wishing to evade taxation on otherwise legit commercial activity) while leeching a good share of world's energy resources, I think he's excused. | |

| ▲ | fragmede 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Absolutely! It's a spectrum and people lie somewhere on it. I can't have a picture of the entirety of it (though I'd love to), but I can only go off my own experiences. I try and get as full a picture as I can, but it's unfortunately going to be skewed. yours is too. I'd love to hear which way your POV skews towards |

| It’s funny, I’ve been in crypto for a few years now and not once have I seen these grifters you talk about. Also, you should maybe stop associating right wing crypto YouTubers with crypto developers. I would say most I know are left of central. |
