I think BTC & ETH (not random shitcoins) have a place and I honestly think they're better unit's of currency than fiat.

However, unfortunately I would now say that it's been co-opted by US-centric grifters/charlatans/hustlers.

The grifters need to go, but the crypto community doesn't really seem to want this to happen, as if the movement has been co-opted by these exact types of people.

Sidenote: I would hazard a guess that the people memeing about "oh my energy use" haven't looked into it with all that much detail. Fiat is MUCH worse in this position.
