I hope the future definition of ‘hacker’ is not making slightly more performant line-of-business applications. New languages that run over decentralized systems are cool regardless of utility, and I hope can be appreciated as such rather than having bear vs bull comments
- gizmo385 5y agoPeople aren't talking about crypto currencies in the same way they talk about esoteric languages - those are consistently framed as practically useless for-fun side projects. Crypto, on the other hand, is instead framed as a large scale revolution of our existing systems and pushed as something that should be used be people worldwide while having significant problems they many believe are very damaging on a societal level.
