Exactly.
I think most crypto projects are scams, but they're relatively independent scams. We've got:
And so much more.
But these are mostly just people jumping on the bandwagon, not some concerted effort by fascists to control the money supply or something. You get the same thing with any fad, like scalping GPUs during COVID supply shortages, Pokemon card fakes, GameStop stock manipulation, etc.

That said Thiel is absolutely funding their creation for his fascist goals. If he controls how money works by having a lot of it he has more influence on it. But aside from the funding of Etherium he’s got no hand in the shit that screws the common rube.
Thiel is an absolute piece of shit & the day I wake up to news that he's choked on his own hubris will be great.
