I think it's good that you have reached that point. Now, if you don't mind my asking (I'm curious):

Did it take 17 years for you to get there, or was it a while ago and you just say now that you were into crypto 17 years ago?

And I don't mean to be offending here: people routinely take years or decades on similar things. I have been observing that with climate change for 20 years now. And I see many many people who are still in that process. Actually I would argue that most people out there haven't reached the point where we can have the discussion, they seem to be in the "denial" phase still.

I feel that pairing a real scientific phenomenon (anthropogenic global warming) with political distaste for crypto is elevating a political argument to the same level as objective reality.

I disagree. It's about believing in something and making their way to the uncomfortable truth.

The “truth” of crypto being bad or good is not the same sort of truth space that anthropogenic climate change occupies and mixing them is actively detrimental for climate advocacy IMO.

> actively detrimental for climate advocacy IMO.

Wow... actively detrimental?
