The most brutal lesson from crypto cycles: influence gets weaponized.

When someone with a platform abuses the trust people place in them, it erodes everything. Yet somehow the community keeps amplifying those same voices afterward—like we collectively forgot the damage.

It shouldn't work this way. Exploitation shouldn't come with a pass back to relevance. The fact that it does? That's the real problem we're not talking about. We give platforms to people who've already proven they'll burn that trust for profit, then act shocked when history repeats.
