Sure, Monero is good for privacy-focused applications, but it’s a fraction of the market and the larger coins aren’t particularly any less tracable than virtual temporary payment cards, so Monero (and other privacy-centric coins) get overshadowed by the garbage coins.

Same with AI, where non-LLM models are having a huge impact in medicine, chemistry, space exploration and more, but because tech bros are shouting about the objectively less useful ones, it brings down the reputation of the entire industry.

JavaScript is like C, you can learn close to the entire (useful) featureset in under an hour, but for some reason people like to say it’s complicated or hard to learn (dates notwithstanding because the way dates work in JS is stupid)

At least LLMs produce something, even if it’s slop, all crypto does is… What does crypto even do again?
