To the outside world, crypto is that corner of the internet where you go and lose money to scams and rugpulls. But Bankless readers know that’s not what we’re about. Bankless has a different vision for crypto: a new frontier, a digital world, built on free and open-source software, that allows us to exit from the Wall Street and Silicon Valley institutions that have captured the world we live in. Is crypto really just one big scam? Or is it the land of opportunity?
