i was at a dinner with some nft people this weekend. i basically kept my mouth shut but they were unsurprisingly discussing it purely in terms of how much they could expect to sell it for in the future. it could be screen grabs of color swatches and it would be exactly the same to them

have those people actually flipped any for a profit? why buy a secondhand one instead of just waiting for lazy lions to pump out more nfts and getting a new one

no, they were all circlejerking about how much they had gone up in value. one commented that it wasn't real value because they hadn't sold, but they wanted it to go higher, and weren't sure what point they would decide was right. i would describe their facial expression while delivering this as a mix of shame and anxiety but i'm sure they would disagree

lol i was talking to my friend who recently quit his job to become a full-time freelance financial advisor. hes very happy he did it but he said the worst part is explaining what he does and hearing a pause before someone says "...huh. so what do you think of cryptocurrency"

we've got some thing at work where it randomly matches you with other people in the company to have a natural, casual chat every couple of weeks. I got the crypto guy a while ago. looks like that, went on and on about how he's living with his parents so that he can reduce expenses and put everything into crypto. apparently has zero savings that are not in crypto of some kind

obviously i aint reading that but are they claiming that economies wouldn't be harmed by war if all transactions were on the blockchain? have we transcended "bitcoin can replace currency" and made it all the way to "bitcoin can replace the material economy?"

nah, they're claiming that countries won't need to demonstrate their power by blowing up other countries, because they could instead demonstrate their power by showing off how much mining power they have, therefore establishing which countries are stronger and weaker without any actual violence

my understanding was that they needed 51% of miners to agree to switch to proof of stake, ie, to agree to remove their own ability to make money mining etherium. is that not true? how did they get past that?
