I believe it, but crypto's reputation is forever stained by the shitshow that happened, and it won't change in the near future.

Which shitshow? Imo that's like saying the internet is forever stained by whatever "shitshow" there was. It's just a technology, there are good and bad applications

The GPU market being wrecked by motherfuckers that wanted to build crypto farms, the cryptocurrency scams, the NFTs, etc.

And the greatest problem of all with crypto is that it is a solution for a non-existing problem. The web worked fine without it and it proved to be way more stable than crypto ever could.

Oh sure I'm not a huge fan of the GPU shortages, though very few crypto things need them anymore

a solution for a non-existing problem

Depends entirely on where you live and if you trust your government, but yes the USA and most Europen countries are fine in general. I personally just prefer anything that can be decentralized. That's why I'm on Lemmy, after all, haha
