- michaericalribo 4y agoBut to add my own, more substantive comment: I do have an intense hate of crypto. Not sure why you want to ignore tulips — speculative financial instruments seem like a very valuable comparison to crypto… For my part, I object to (a) the sheer narcissism of the crypto community, which claims crypto is better but fails to address the basic use cases needed to gain any practical traction in the real world (fast transactions, insured deposits), and (b) the way that crypto is hyped and ends up with normal people being taken advantage of (celebrity endorsements then a crash, NFTs). Crypto doesn’t seem to solve any problem, but it sure has contributed to fucking over a lot of regular people
