Sitting at The Ohio State University graduation and the entire stadium just booed when the speaker mentioned Bitcoin… Right off getting home from Farcon, it’s a stark reminder of the real world. We have a lot of work to do.

He was just discussing the world students are graduating into. Record inflation, uncertain economy, political turmoil. And that new technologies like BTC are offering new opportunities. And I’m not entirely sure, but it’s very clear crypto and web3 have a major reputation problem in the real world.

Crypto definitely has a PR problem, driven mostly by sensational headlines about scams, figures like SBF, and cartoon ape jpgs selling for $200K. The bad rep will continue until the real-world use cases outshine the casino culture. That’s why when someone asks, I say I work in blockchain tech rather than crypto.

at least the speaker seems somewhat bullish? 😅 here's hoping we can change more minds this cycle!
