Popcorn meaning you enjoy this? Did you have popcorn in 2008 when the economy was freefalling? Popcorn when people are financially harmed in other ways? You can be a bitter anti-crypto person without _enjoying_ people's pain wtf.

It's important to note: shitty programmers can achieve what a great programmer can but with 10x lines of code copy pasted until all found use cases are covered, and will take 10x the time, and will need 10x the QA team. So yeah, more L

What about Primecoin? Finds new prime numbers all the time. Filecoin pays and gets paid for server storage space. How in any way are these projects scams? There are dozens of projects that utlize the blockchain and have a token and are not

No one has ever said this is the end of crypto every 6 months. Never happened :) Tether is a joke but your bank also doesnt have every1s money. Oh it's FDIC insured! Yeah by the ppl who print the money. It's a solid grift, but it&

How ironic that crypto bros (like me) want a libertarian-yet-democratic user-owned form of currency without government intrusion, and then something like FTX not being overseen by the government tanks all cryptos. When pretty much any compa

A lot of cryptocurrencies are part of projects that I believe in. I see the code, see commits, discussions, details of the project being used in the wild. I don't blame the people behind the project for ridiculous fluctuations in their

I'm a big fan of crypto but at least the idea of passing the hot potato til it crumbles in to nothing is a reasonable worry. Every stonk has that same exact issue.
