It's not because of aversion to cryptocurrency per se, it's because the crypto space is absolutely full of blatant shills and they are extremely annoying people. A comment like 'I think cryptocurrencies help to mitigate this, but the flip side is that it can lead to money laundering' is insightful. Personal testimonials are basically just ads.
I agree. The industry needs to do a better job of weeding out the shills.
That said, every advertisement I get for a bank or financial institution, doesn't seem much different. Instead of individuals, it is big organizations trying to shill us into letting them manage our money for us.
True, but I would flag or dismiss Wells Fargo if they started shilling in the comments here too.
I'm right there with you, even for crypto.
