Just think: every single one of these cards could have been someone enjoying their favorite video game in gorgeous high-definition glory. But instead, cr*pto fuckboys are using it to torch the planet one stupid shitcoin at a time. Fuck cr*pto and fuck enn-eff-tees.

the crypto space is a lot like the movie Avatar, in that no one is able to make compelling arguments about it being actually good or revolutionary in material impact, only in its use of a specific technology

Take a good long look and let it really sink in that all that is producing nothing. Absolutely nothing.

It seems a lot of people in the crypto space have linked their identities to the underlying technology and are unable to discuss things without feeling personally attacked.

Some people can't even afford their medical or grocery bills while others drop $650k on a fake boat. This is the worst timeline.

Someone paid $650,000 for a virtual mega-yacht. I repeat: the yacht does not exist beyond a virtual world called “The Sandbox.” Every time I see a story like this I not only think we need to rein this in, but also that taxing the rich isn’t enough; we need expropriation.

whenever some VC tweets about some use case for crypto: - you could do the same thing without crypto - it would be less complicated - the crypto version bottoms out on the same problem anyway - it probably doesn't work

A while back I met a self-proclaimed bro who spends all his time literally destroying the world looking for coins. The funny thing about it all, he never bought anything with the coins, but kept collecting them as if his life depended on it.

I never wanted to fully mute all the crypto/nft stuff cause I wanted to keep an eye on who I support and if they’re into that kind of crap 👀 But it’s too rage inducing, I can’t deal. Y’all continue burning our fucking planet and scamming each other, I’m out.

Except that ownership is not provable or enforceable. I could upload a U2 song and sell a token to it, and that proves nothing about my ownership of the song or the sucker who bought a token to it.

Once you push through the crypto gaslighting, you realise there's no meaningful tech here at all all, and the whole of it just gambling, regulatory arbitrage, and scams. Torching the planet to sell expensive entries in a database really is as stupid as it seems.

I'm sure that their state backed insurance means that no customer is left out of pocket…? Perhaps their central bank can trace and invalidate all the stolen tokens…? At least they were regularly audited by professionals - which makes this sort of thing rare…?
