That _is_ a tragic story!
Thankfully, your experience is not universal. It's still the primary means of communication between me and the majority of my friends, technical and non-technical alike. I believe they've walked back (or, at least, not committed to) that crypto project - at least, I haven't heard anything about it in so long that I barely remembered what you were referring to.
I'm skeptical of crypto too, but this sounds like an over-reaction that is cutting off your own nose to spite your face.
I mean it's an incredibly over-saturated market. There are so many of these apps, they're all the same. There's little room for such errors IMO. But I'm willing to accept that it might have been an overreaction
