Dear Fediverse,
I know it's fashionable here to dislike crypto, or even be scared of it.
As a tech nerd first and foremost, this always triggers me a bit. Blockchain technology is just that—a technology, like email. It's no more a scam than SMTP or online banking. Do you get a lot of scam emails? Sure. Are there lots of scams using crypto? Definitely. Can you lose a lot of money in online banking scams? Absolutely.
