four main characters in crypto
1) the OGs, cypherpunks, believooors in decentralization
2) VC funded traditional SV folks, good intentions but operate with constraints.
3) VC funded companies. Don't care about the original ethos. Make returns for VCs and founders.
4) the shitcoiners, traders, extractooors, trenchers
Nothing wrong with any of them. But good to state the philosophies upfront.
