right but the distinction - made specifically for crypto - just leads to an arbitrary pointless discussion about what things have value at all. The people working on a Google product that will be allowed to live for 9 months? The people at the adtech startup? The defense contractors?

Its tiresome and unnecessary. Instead of talking about stacks, say crypto once and everyone loses their minds.

The only distinction is something you respect verses something you dont. There isnt any underlying specific or accurate distinction from other industries to support it.

The question is about employment or, by proxy, making money.
