The fact we’re so far into crypto and NFTs that this famous bloggers take is “it’s bad for the environment” should be the signal he’s past giving relevant takes.
This would have been the take to have in the first months of Bitcoin.
A boomer can’t comprehend the actions of the generation where house prices rocketed and their salaries stayed the same. They’re going to do whatever it takes to build wealth and gambles like crypto, gamestop, nft are now the norm, anyone over 30 today realizes building savings and living within your means is now a waste of time as they still struggle to afford houses.
When it comes down to it “but the environment...” isn’t going to put anyone off, the environmental impact of AirPods never put anyone off the convenience of no cable so why would this?
- whiddershins 6y agoThis meme that living within your means and saving isn’t effective is ... dangerous. It’s pretty always better to do so. Saying ‘yeah but if I do that, I still won’t be able to afford x purchase’ easily becomes a justification for being in debt, which just doesn’t help. Even if we don’t live in a meritocracy, behaving as if we do and assuming you can increase your merit, is an effective strategy.
