According to @ThinkingUSD, crypto is built on teenage labor, posted on Nov 16, 2025, with no supporting data or examples provided (source: @ThinkingUSD). Crypto participation does skew young among adults, with the highest adoption in the 18–29 cohort, which contextualizes the claim but does not evidence underage labor (source: Pew Research Center, 2023). Operational risk remains concentrated in DeFi where unaudited or inexperienced teams are more common, as shown by DeFi protocols comprising the majority of hack volumes in recent years (source: Chainalysis Crypto Crime Reports, 2022–2023). The post provides no direct signal for BTC or ETH; traders should treat it as a qualitative reminder to tighten due diligence on team credibility and code audits when sizing altcoin and DeFi exposures (source: @ThinkingUSD; SEC Office of Investor Education and Advocacy).
