The Crypto Community Is a Mess

Crypto onboarding today is inaccessible, hard to understand, and owned entirely by influencers who earn outsized benefits from new members joining the ecosystem.

As we move into this post-money crypto era, we’re going to start to pick up all the complexities of human sociality, and now more than ever, we need to adopt a critical stance to the directions we move in as a community.

One conclusion here is that to know where crypto is headed, sociology is as important as economics. Crypto will continue to be surprising because people see it not just as a way to make money, but as a way to make meaning of their lives.
