My point is more that the crypto folks have essentially all the same shitty instincts that bank people do. Except they're in a barely regulated industry and they're fetishizing a broken technology. On the plus side, the crypto industry is also a bit lower stakes.

This is such a punk thing to do. Vaguely threatening enough to get bad people nervous, but completely legal and even ethically sound imo
