I totally agree with Vatalik's sentiments and your comments @krnel. I've been saddened by the lack of response to this "I want my lambo now!" mentality by crypto veterans, and those that understand the reasons blockchain technology was invented in the first place.

There are still a few in the crypto space that continue to push for the original disruptive principles and are vocal about it, but they seem to be getting far less visible. Frankly I am quite disappointed as I watch the hope I had for a disruptive solution to institutionalized corruption be eroded by lambo hunters and those who clamor for regulation and mainstream adoption of crypto regardless of principles and original purposes.

I have elected to power down here and move my posts to the Whaleshares platform. Not sure how much longer I'll be on steemit.
