misterrespectful

This is a perfect example of projecting your own desires on someone else. I like cryptocurrency, therefore everyone else must want cryptocurrency, too, right?

It's also rather disrespectful. It implies that the only reason traditional musicians can't make money from their music is because they aren't smart enough to figure out how. You think they haven't heard of the internet? You think they only make traditional music because they can't do anything else which might pay more? You think they want to sell their culture to strangers for imaginary internet money?

For those of us with meaningless jobs in technology (like education and research and infrastructure), how does it feel to be on the forefront of using technology to bring real progress to civilization?
