Unfortunately, I kinda feel the same way. I'm a blockchain apologist for the most part, whenever I hear people complaining about how the blockchain is some kind of automated discrimination process I cringe a little bit and try my hardest to explain to them that the technology itself is neither good nor evil, just implemented pretty poorly. With that being said, I generally cannot stand cryptocurrency. I have yet to meet a single starry-eyed crypto fanatic who wasn't either woefully uninformed or completely jaded by their investment. I'm not sure if I'd go as far as calling it a "huge blight on humanity" (any more than I'd call Denmark a huge blight on humanity for existing and consuming electricity/food), but digital money is indeed a sucker's game these days.
