Crypto is facing widespread disdain, largely fueled by its recent history and the actions of its community. The author uses a metaphor about group sex to illustrate how people feel about engaging with cryptocurrency; there's excitement but also a sense of shame and inevitable disappointment. Over the years, different trends emerged, from ICOs in 2017 to NFTs and DeFi in 2020, but the sentiment has shifted. Many who once defended crypto now find themselves facing backlash, as losses mount and trust erodes. Several reasons for this negative perception are outlined. First, the complexity and risks of crypto can lead to severe financial losses due to scams or user error. Stories of wallets being drained or personal information exposed from data leaks highlight the dangers of participating in this space. The connection between high-profile figures and failed projects further tarnishes crypto’s reputation. The author notes that many investors feel exploited within a system designed for extraction, where one person's gain often comes at another's expense. The allure of crypto is waning as other sectors, notably AI and robotics, garner more interest and investment. The perception that crypto doesn't deliver the returns it once promised contributes to its decline. Market comparisons show traditional investments outpacing crypto, which only adds fuel to the fire. Finally, there's a cultural shift; fewer people believe in the possibility of wealth through crypto, leading to skepticism and apathy. This change signals a broader disillusionment with the crypto culture, where perceived opportunities have turned into stories of loss and regret.
