That’s very informative. Thanks for posting! > the project has found itself at the mercy of GoDaddy. Welcome to the decentralized web3 we've all been promised!

I tend to think the cyber money hyperventilation on both sides ranges from silly to really annoying, but… Molly White is hilarious and that site is gold. She’s (intentionally or not) done a bit of an homage to dealbreaker.com, which is roughly “Wall St. is Going Great” and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the above. Top kek.

  Every generation deserves a fuckedcompany.com or two.

  I also find jesters and clowns hilarious as well. Some of them don't need to dress up, but just love to professionally complain and grift on top of another grift and point fingers at everyone being an extreme crypto supporter. Eventually, they will give up just like the other critics did and it will be on to the next one.

    In general I agree. The cybermoney hate-kegels that HN practices are, interpreted in the most generous possible way a really loud, really low-signal way for a bunch of people to express the sentiment that they think some tradeable instruments are over-valued, which professionals do by either not buying them, or going short if they're convicted. Less charitable interpretations cluster around old-fashioned sour grapes that a bunch of people lucked into 10^6x or 10^7x type returns, which, in fairness, is hard not to be annoyed by on a human flinch level. There is another group of people actively trying to profit either financially or in-kind via page views on the very thing they are calling destructive profiteering, and in the least generous possible interpretation, Ms. White falls into that category with this site. But life is fucking hard at the best of times, and speaking for myself I'm generally much happier and more sane when I keep a sense of humor about things. Her site made me laugh, and was therefore a bargain at the ten minutes I spent chuckling over it.

Don't forget the irony that the decentralized web is now effectively owned by Godaddy, the horrible corrupt company that largely inspired web 3.0 in the first place.
