I wonder how many people who got into crypto and found something they clicked with and were able to make something of compared with a dead end job would feel about this whole “contributes to inequality” nonsense. Not everything is for everyone, and that’s OK, but there’s something out there for everyone.

And lots more from the second group who have made a tiny minority of crypto owners rich.
- luxuryballs 6y agoSure but that doesn’t take away from the other guy, not everything is for everyone, that’s ok.
- einpoklum 6y agoIt literally takes away from the other guy. Poor sap #1 earned money so far, poor sap #2 lost money so far. At any given point there are more poor saps of type #2 than of type #1.
- luxuryballs 6y agoThat’s not how that works, “sap #2” was a willing and active participant, nothing was taken away.
- louwrentius 6y agoThat doesn’t seem to justify the environmental impact to me.
