author here - this is a reference to 'laser eyes', which means you believe BTC will reach 100k https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/laser-eyes-bitcoin-trend-laserrayu

  I am glad someone knows what "laser eyes" mean, I did not get that reference or know that meme. FWIW, I do not have laser eyes and I would not bet against BTC reaching 100k. But that does not mean I believe BTC should be the leader or that it's the best cryptocurrency, so that is not meant as an endorsement in any way. Great article, by the way. I have just skimmed most of it, I am knee-jerking, but my strongest impression after reading through most of it for the first time is "I'm with Keanu here" with the caveat that I do believe there are a handful of good Web3 projects out there, I'm not going to name one because I don't want to detract from your article, which is actually very good IMHO. (Edit: I guess I mean, I'm with queersamus, whose quote appears under the picture of Keanu...)

    Agreed it could reach 100k - main point is that a currency needs to be spent and BTC won't be by definition because most are into it as speculation. But wanted also to say thank you - means a lot to get the positive feedback.

      There's a lot of wrong ideas out there and we don't get people to have the right idea by shutting down discussion about it. I like your article better than Cory Doctorow's take, how's that for positive feedback? I'm sorry that it got flagged off the front page!

        Yes shame about the flagging. And thanks!
