I think there is room for both; why does it have to be alt-right or alt-left (that's me trying to be hip with the lingo)? I got into crypto because I wanted to buy edibles and had to learn how to learn all about bitcoin- yes the drive was that intense. My focus is now is trading financial assets. I've traded stock options, ETF's, Indices, Foreign Currency pairs, now crypto currency. The goal is to replace engineering income from a 9-5 from trading profits. I've always maintained a critical eye when it comes to new assets and I study how they behave. It's almost precious to see someone get all enthusiastic about the possibilities of cryptocurrency and blockchain, I was the same way. Then you end up digging deeper, sometimes by necessity- like when you lose your shit on Mt.Gox- or you start to see patterns of price manipulation like on any foreign currency pair. Who are we to tarnish someone's brilliant and shiny enthusiasm of a concept with a knowledge of the unseen hand that humans unconsciously or consciously use to wipe their ass with? I think my point is that you have to know why you're in it with such clarity that you can exist in equilibrium with it all. The question to answer is..Are you getting what you thought you would from it?.....my 2 cents.
