Too Long; Didn't Read
I am standing in a small hall of hastily assembled booths all flaunting tokens of some description and function. Somewhere over the past months, what I thought of as a unified community forked into the blockchain-crowd (using the technology to replace or supplement existing technology) and the crypto-crowd who seek to create value, be that with speculation, or token-based ecosystems. This split in the community isn’t inherently bad, it’s a natural process as a community grows, but it happened somewhat swiftly and took a lot of the broader community by surprise.
