I'll take steady, minor inflation over crypto's love affair with hyper-deflation for Bitcoin, hyperinflation for most altcoins after their bubbles burst, and general instability.
And you want to talk about corruption? Crypto has a new scandal, scam, or rugpull nearly every month, and that's not even limited to altcoins. Then there's the whole thing with NFTs, which I repeatedly seen linked to the money laundering that used to go on in the art world[1]. Bad actors are attracted to crypto precisely because it's decentralized and unregulated. It's a dream come true for them, certainly.
