The number of brain cells and compute cycles being wasted on this nonsense is staggering.

Im sure this has been said about all early technologies at some point. If you are right or wrong only time will tell though.

  They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

    Though it's worth noting that Columbus was wrong but got lucky.

  But there's nothing early abt crypto. My mom in Normandy sends me carbon copies of bitcoin article in the local newspaper (God knows why, all I told them was to never ever listen to anyone telling them to put their retirement in crypto lol). It's everywhere, everyone can get some, work in a crypto place, accept crypto in their store, convert their entire salary. What is so wrong about it that we call this 14 year old dinosaur tech "early". We've seen it, we don't want it, time to try someth else.

    When you start seeing Super Bowl ads for it, you can describe it as "early"

      Yeah we dont have super bowl in France or China where I leave now. I dont think it means early to have ads for, it seems to mean peak bubbles instead. And it could just be the beginning of the end.

Wait 'til you figure out how much is being wasted on other nonsense like computer games and team sports!

    At least you're honest about how "bubbled" you are...

Hard to root for the fiat system though when you're dealing with near double digit inflation.

  We have a single data point for the performance of crypto as an asset class during a time of inflation. Admittedly a single data point isn't great but it's all we have. What do you take from the data so far? I don't see Bitcoin exactly holding up its promise as an inflation hedge.
