Most also did. Techbros back them mostly used to be rright-libertarian, they just pivoted more and more to republicans once non-right leaning people showed an extreme distaste for GenAI.
Crypto has been leaning right for years and it’s a damn shame IMO. The initial motivation was to create a money supply without automatic annual pay cuts, without corporate bailouts, where we aren’t forced to either invest in a business or work until we die. All humans should share a FOSS money supply. A large percentage of us were leftists or (actual) anarchists.
Then it appreciated really fast and attracted a bunch of get-rich-quick crypto bros who understand nothing and want you to buy their latest shitcoin. And it’s hurt adoption in the long term as a consequence.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they started distancing themselves from the darknet drug markets that got us here.
Recent happenings among payment processors making me considering amending some changes to my open source game engine’s branding guidelines, that I’ll allow projects accepting crypto etc. (still no NFTs), and I will only intervene if people involved with the projects are also involved in rugpulls, or similar scams.
