- PaulHoule 5y agoEach of F, A, A, N and G clearly delivers value to the community in some way (it's a struggle for Facebook, but even advertising helps firms introduce new products and services and keeps the economy competitive; for all the problems of Amazon you have to blame K-Mart, Best Buy and other failing retailers for being coldly indifferent to the needs of consumers, etc.) I can't separate the crypto phenomenon from experiences like: going to the memorial service of a woman who died of COVID-19 a year ago and running into her boyfriend who was boasting about how he'd scored a graphics card that he uses for Etherium mining. That woman's husband killed himself two years previously because she was having an affair with that guy and I told him with no uncertainty that I couldn't get a graphics card for gaming or neural network development and didn't want to hear again about him and cryptocurrencies.
