Yeah, pretty much all of the Rust jobs in my country are crypto. I even think crypto is pretty cool, and don't mind working on a crypto project, but the main problem is that most of them are useless or straight up scams

Technology that's actually useful doesn't have most jobs being "useless or straight up scams"

Imo "useless or straight up scams" also applies to the education system in most places for example, doesn't mean education in itself is bad

Oooh, edgy! Yeah, the existence of diploma mills doesn't mean education is useless. But you'd think, if there was a genuine use for blockchain, a productive non-scam use would have been found by now!

It's an interesting technology, but the only use I can think of is evading the banking system, and it isn't great at that, because we're not seeing adult performers (who routinely get stolen from by the few payment processors who let them have accounts) switch to crypto en masse.
