I think it's hilarious that people get this mad that there are other human beings, alive on this loving planet, doing something that they don't approve of and talking about it in the wrong way

"Trading worthless pogs AND using the wrong words! PIECE OF poo poo" :ssj:

Oh hahaha, right. Making fun of idiots is "getting mad online."

It's a distributed database for peer to peer transactions, and that opens up new use cases.

Whether you think that will turn out to be useful in the long run is up to you, pretending it's not different or that it couldn't be useful seems quite premature given that we're in the very early days of cryptos.

you'd think a technology so disruptive would have made a little headway in 9 fuckin' years

A handful of people made a bunch of money during the dot-com boom, a great many more lost a great portion of or their whole asses, and the whole drat time were there trumpeting assholes farting out insults that you were a moron if you didn't get on board.

Here in the bitcoin years we aren't even getting any useful or interesting infrastructure out of the craze, just a completely irrational and disgusting abuse of resources to prop up a speculative bubble, super cool

This is true in America as well, though. If you are anti-progressive even slightly, some state or federal law can be found to intimidate you with. You’ll never go to jail or be charged, but you’ll be on a watch list at some level just to make your day-to-day more frustrating. Happens the opposite in conservative terms as well; I’m not lib-bashing. Members of the legislative branch can send LE to your house even if they don’t represent your district. It’s not for “making threats,” or “writing an entire loving book about assassinating George Bush while he was the sitting President,” because those folks need a talking to. Im talking about disagreeing vehemently (but not threateningly) with a proposal like the Green New Deal on a platform with a Congresswoman and having the FBI knock on your door 10 hours later. It’s happened since Nixon and it’s getting worse here.

I'm sending the fbi's progressive enforcement squad to your house for this post

Yeah bud, sorry, tried to edit when I remembered the username and didn't want to pry.

I was hoping it was crimes, though.

Crypto boosters who managed to wrangle a little bit of money out of it are so goddamn insufferably stupid. You aren't special, you weren't prescient, you're not smart, you're gambling. It's okay to just recognize that you're gambling and that you had just as many chances completely outside of your control of losing your rear end on it as anyone else had. You still do!
