Is anyone here really “in it for the tech”?

For those who don’t know, it’s a recurring joke where everytime there’s a plunge, people say they’re “in it for the tech.” Basically in boom times, everyone’s excited about making insane amounts of money but when the market is dumping, we can justify being in the red by saying that we’re in it for the tech, decentralization, censorship-free transactions, and all.

Are you in it for the tech? Or is it just that we want financial freedom and it seems that Crypto can take us there?

Personally I’m in it for both to be honest. Making money and the idea of building a financial system that’s open and which routes around traditional power centers excites the f out of me!
