COMPUTER VS. CASINO: CRYPTO’S CULTURE WAR

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This post discusses the ongoing culture war in crypto between the technical and financial sides of the space. It contrasts the "Crypto computer" group, who believe in the decentralization and disintermediation ideals of crypto’s founders, against the "Crypto casino" camp, who treats the space as a speculative platform. While speculation may be a part of crypto, it should be used to drive new positive-sum use cases to bring more people into the industry rather than encouraging harmful financial practices.
