What's a controversial issue on which the average person who disagrees with you has better moral character than the average person who agrees with you?

Our collective carbon footprint:

It’s ok to normalise flying around the world for multiple events every year (pop-up cities don’t fix this), at best for business but more often than not for the rather selfish reason of having a good time with friends whom we could’ve chosen to have made at one place.

I think it's an ok price to pay for keeping crypto global and not over-concentrated in one physical geography that would inevitably capture it.

Probably >100x more favorable tradeoff ratio than mining.

If everyone optimised their travels and networking to extend their bubble, then sure. But too many of us are hanging out with folks in their own bubble, just at different events around the world.

With adoption lacking behind, our collective coping mechanism was to see crypto as a subculture (which led to more travels+emissions). But the original and actual objective is just to bring solutions to users and fix problems. 

From the POV of regular users outside our bubble, crypto‘s jetset lifestyle may seem like sunk cost to the subculture-narrative which isn’t actually a necessity for the tech-narrative.
