Putting my bias at the front, I own crypto and am "pro" crypto if we can boil it down simply. I'm also deeply skeptical of a lot of projects in crypto, most OG's are because there is a lot of vaporware and scams and ponzis.

Nonetheless, the vision of having a shared consensus truth that the whole world can rely on for transacting I find very compelling.

I like the way Anatoly from Solana puts it:

"Global information symmetry"
