You pruned off the last part of the sentence in what you quoted: “which makes it seem like cryptocurrency is inherently scammy.” Adds a bit of important context.
The interpretation that cryptocurrency projects are “harmful” is based on a popular position that misunderstands the nature of cryptocurrency and its full range of uses.
Your obsession with stalking me keeps leading you to pouncing on comments with an “aha! Got him!” That leads you to misinterpret them in the worst possible light. Which is quite ironic given the situation this thread is actually about.
Cryptocurrency has largely been adopted by the rich and powerful to keep speculating while avoiding regulations and taxes. Look no further than how Donald Trump and his family use it to enrich themselves.
Acting as if cryptocurrency is maligned because it’s “unpopular” is like acting that Donald Trump is a victim because he’s unpopular.
Cryptocurrencies are generally open protocols, usable by anyone. Both the rich and powerful and the poor and powerless. Much like open source in general. I’m sure Donald Trump and family make use of other open source projects in their various endeavours, should those be banned too?
Cryptocurrencies are generally open protocols, usable by anyone. Both the rich and powerful and the poor and powerless.
But its most popular uses are to defraud the poor and to allow the rich to speculate.
I agree with your earlier, more honest comment, that said that cryptocurrency is not inherently bad and Codeberg needs to clarify, but this new claim that it’s going after the “unpopular” is plain wrong.

And these “rich and powerful” are using Codeberg projects for that? Not, say, LGBTQ+ people living in sanctioned countries who use cryptocurrency to buy HRT?

What “new take?” I’m saying the same thing.
Ah well. You’ll declare me a troll regardless of what I say, the goal determines the interpretation. This is pointless.
I explained it to you twice.
