Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but…
Is the speculative investment scam, which crypto substantially represented, finally dead? Can we go back to buying gold bars and Pokemon cards?
I feel like it is, but I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen. Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM “prompts?” Maybe the rug just got pulled enough times that everyone lost trust.
I read it. And I disagree.
It isn’t that it can’t handle it “right now.” It will never handle it. Nobody wants it.
But I bet “you can’t read, you’re just triggered by a word” is way easier to fantasize about than actually paying attention to reality.
