Emily F. Gorcenski sums up #cryptocurrency beautifully. Just part of an amazing essay on the perverse #ethics of the #techbros. I think she's mostly correct on the #theology parallels. A long read, but highly recommended

The crypto community managed to convince thousands of investors that infinite growth was not only inevitable, but that an investment bubble was mathematically impossible. This, of course, was a lie, and the implosion of FTX and the downfall of its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried showed once and for all that pretty much the entire crypto industry was a Ponzi scheme stood on top of layer cake of fraud.
