They pretty much nailed it in the last paragraph... > Writing in the New York Times Adrian Chen noted as far back as 2013 that Bitcoin is built on a weird mix of speculative greed bolstered by a utopian cyberlibertarian ideology and likened it to a digital gold rush. Indeed, hyperbole continues to characterise all aspects of the crypto world. Crypto messaging does not appear to be directed at the rational or sensible. Adrian Chen's article... https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/27/opinion/much-ado-about-bitcoin.html https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/27/opinion/much-ado-about-bi... Dan Olson's now epic "Line Goes Up" https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g ... a masterful takedown of crypotcurrency and NFT's, it also demonstrates what a shit-show this has all become. Much MUCH worse than in Chen's 2013 article.
