Non-productive work will always be looked down upon and shaming people for being wasteful with resources is an absolutely correct attitude.<p>Crypto-bros are just the next generation of the emptiness of finance-bros pre Bitcoin -- but somehow worse. They add 0 value to open market economies with stable political systems.<p>Crypto allows for getting around sanctions, currency controls, and inflationary economic systems. This effectively supports incompetent or unethical regimes by either allowing privileged people to be unaffected by bad policies and disincentivizes political revolution towards more open markets and free political systems.<p>Hence why established democratic systems and free markets see no real value in Crypto except for speculation and illicit activities.
