I have clearly stated my opinion that crypto failed in its original purpose, which was to be a practical decentralized medium of currency exchange. But it still does a lot of interesting and useful things for some people.

@adiz yeah I think shitcoins and scams and hacks killed motivation. however improvements are still happening rapidly and another chance may appear.

@sun I think the problem was/is that the early cryptocurrencies, like BTC, made for very poor actual cryptocurrencies when it came to exchanging. And, once there were very useful and efficient alternatives, the whole cryptocurrency ship had already sailed and the market was full of useless shit-coins + the entire thing had left a sour taste in people's mouths.

@sun The single biggest and best benefit of cryptocurrency for me (other than the technical aspects) is the ability to completely circumvent payment processors. It's not even that "fiat currency" (these are all fiat currency, the concept of a fiat currency is kinda a spook to me, ultimately) are an issue so much that it's full of controlling, meddling middle-men that all want a share and can arbitrarily cut off your ability to buy/sell goods if you get on their bad side. @arcana

@arcana

1. value doesn't fluctuate so much
2. actually private (eg monero, zcash)
3. can buy many or most things in it without converting to fiat

Yes and another question is why the Trump/Musk regime is going Crypto crazy along with Larry Fink and co. They are enticing you into a trap that’s been set all along into the digital currency financial control system and telling you it’s about ‘freedom’

There’s no “mystery” to what happens to breakfast cereal milk when it turns green or other “mystery” colors; it’s synthetic food dyes! And these ultra-processed products are targeted to kids.

Roger Ver’s story is a reminder of what happens when you dare to challenge the system. Here’s a man who has spent his life advocating for financial freedom, yet he now faces 109 years in prison.

I think why the government is so obsessed with regulating AI is because they're already using it and know what it can do at scale and are scared to death of it being used against them
