It was in schools by that time. Youngsters could well embrace crypto long before the rest of the normies. I would have loved it when I was a kid. Anyone got kidos who grind crypto?
If you're reading the nytimes for crypto, then you're behind the curve. Bigly. Digital coins. Fucking morons.
& if you're reading the nytimes for crypto investment advice, then you're probably exposing yourself to risk with limited upside. Find someone who is investing in this shit full-time & give your money to them. Even tech VCs invest in crypto hedge funds. Polychain Capital is an example. Olaf Carlson-Wee (who runs it) was on the cover of Forbes recently (I believe ). They're the type of ppl you want investing for you. You could also bing Ari David Paul &/or Chris Burniske. The former is opening a fund. The latter will probably open a fund after his book 'Cryptoassets' is released (I think that's the play).

- discombobulate 9y agoThat's obviously bad. But kids have always bought drugs. That is an example of how kidos can create their own economies with crypto. Money is something everyone understands. Even penguins & chimps understand trade (for sex, with the link provided)[0]. If there's a way to ensure children didn't have access to drugs of abuse, I'm all for that. Drugs & developing brains !mix. & it seems prohibition hasn't helped any. It's spawned more concentrated substances & resilient drug markets.

- neuro_imager 9y agoHow would I go about investing via a hedge fund like Polychain Capital? I can't seam to find contact information online. Do I need to go through a broker?
- discombobulate 9y agohttp://polychain.capital http://polychain.capital Edit: I believe you invest in hedge funds directly. That's the impression I've gotten. I do my own investing. So have never used a broker.
- neuro_imager 9y agoDoes anyone have any knowledge/experience of brickblock.io?
- discombobulate 9y agoI don't know much about them -- if you're asking me. Edit: I'm focusing on the underlying protocols, ATM. Edit2: & security. A lot of security.
