> our current society Well that's the thing though, shocking as it may be, there are other societies out there. Living in a Third World country with a controlled currency, Bitcoin was the only way I could actually buy things online. So yeah, to me, it does have an actual value. Disregarding something completely just because you don't think is useful is very shortsighted. It's akin to people thinking x programming language is complete trash.

So you mean you used to to break the law? What a glowing review, it's used by criminals like you to escape the currency controls. Once again proving bitcoin is the coin of choice for hardened violent criminals. Hope the crying drowning polar bears are worth the ruthless environmental damage you inflict. Edit: lol to the people not realizing this is intentional satire meant to poke fun at the meme-like representation of the stereotypical crypto-hater

  Yikes. Judge not, and such... Edit: And I say this as someone who's pretty much, "fuck crypto". OP said they're from a third world country and were vague with what they purchased and, especially, why. Yet you've painted them as an absolutely disgusting individual. Geez.

  >Edit: lol to the people not realizing this is intentional satire meant to poke fun at the meme-like representation of the stereotypical crypto-hater It can be difficult to understand if something is sarcastic or satire when there is no tone of voice or facial cues to help. Especially when you don't exaggerate, and simply type out the same things as the group your satirizing. Maybe the only difference/give-away was the "crying" part of the polar bears. The rest is pretty much verbatim of some of the nastier comments I've seen in other threads.

    The sad thing is I think maybe you're right, I guess didn't even exaggerate enough that a reasonable person would think it goes beyond the typical anti-crypto sentiment. I knew things had gotten bad, but I didn't realize they were that bad.

  When the country is being run by international criminals, like Russia, breaking some of the 'laws' imposed by them is a virtuous thing to do.

  It sounds like you're being the equivalent of an online Karen or any generic unpleasant person that lacks critical thinking, awareness, and so on. There's nothing specifically stereotypical about what you wrote when it comes to people who dislike crypto. For example, the YouTube documentary, Line Goes Up, isn't remotely focused on what your satirical attempt goes on about.

    Considering posters below genuinely took it as in line with what they'd read in other threads and indeed did not even realize it was satire because that's specifically in line what stereotypical commenters were saying, I'm just going to say you're full of shit. Otherwise maybe you should direct your unpleasantness their way, since they're so wrong.

What I said is apparently "pretty much verbatim" of the stereotypical ilk, apparently. So which of the two of you are lying? Have that debate down in your counterpart's thread if you like. >There's nothing specifically stereotypical about what you wrote when it comes to people who dislike crypto The hilarious thing is I meant for my post to sound over the top and exaggerated vs the stereotypical meme. It was supposed to sound a bit ridiculous. Then I simultaneously get accused no one could possible understand it is satire because I didn't exaggerate enough while also being accused it's not satire because I exaggerated too much. The honest to god truth is I didn't realize people were actually saying shit quite this ridiculous until I was told this while being scolded in this thread, that people were saying such ridiculous things that my statement couldn't possibly be interpreted as satire because it was the verbatim argument of the people I was poking fun at. Maybe that hit too close to home for you, idk.

but then ultimately "disregarding" something has no effect on anything, so what are you worried about? you want a stranger to have regard for something because it has value for you, even though it doesn't for them? does the posting war need to continue? actually, what am i even doing here?
