The cryptocurrency and decentralization are possible because some people believe and live on those ideas. For those who don't care, bitcoin is $0 or worse: a Ponzi scheme.

Scala development and tool can be divided into four categories
- Java (OO): wrong idea for many developers. Use Kotlin if you like OO.
- Haskell (pure FP, even HKT): good for fun but not for profit. Use Haskell for pure FP.
- Erlang (Actors): fibers are better. Use Clojure if you like Actors.
- Easy: practical FP, the above tools from Haoyi. Use them if you program in Scala
I'd guess all is done after work. Please support him to make Scala better: https://www.patreon.com/join/lihaoyi
The ultimate goal of China government is its stability -- the power under China Communist Party. Everything else is trivial. The motivation behind this is simple: the government fully controls everything and this fact makes many ruling families extremely rich.
Therefore to make big money in China, you have to follow its rules that including self-censorship, very close relationship with government officials at every level, etc. As proved by many foreign companies of many years of practices in Chain, the profit is far less than the compromising and broken integrity. The government and the officials take the big share.
In Chinese, this kind of business is called "asking a tiger for its skin."
