Shitcoins fund misinformation campaigns against Bitcoin, I feel XRP is kinda responsible for the NY Bitlicense, BSV may be responsible for a few Bitcoin Core devs, including most recently Marco hanging up his... keyboard. FTX is responsible for so much non-existent (paper Bitcoin) that we probably would have hit 100k, and probably wouldn't have dropped below 20k, our previous cycle's high. Since most VCs prefer the guaranteed returns of pumpanddumps with Ethereum, NGU funds more than our security budget, it helps fund development too. And crypto really screwed us this cycle.
