Back in those days, getting your hands on a foil-wrapped 10-pack of 3M (DS) HD floppy disks was the true feeling of happiness... :D Heck, even five would be pretty nice.

nothing holds intrinsic value. At the base of existence, all "true" value is utility value. Before cash and gold coins, people iron stakes and bronze kettles for currency, but even a bronze kettle is useless if you don't us

The same criticisms can be leveraged at the major fiat currencies; the US dollar hegemony is basically built around an assumed easy access to hydrocarbon energy (ref the long-term US partnership with Saudi Arabia), and has apparently dictat

1) cash has an anti-gambling function inherent to it these days aka inflation. Unfortunately, this affects the investing decisions of millions of people rather than a few thousand hopeful & unsophisticated would-be investors in bitcoin

This is basically an 8-paragraph opinion peace that says "i don't like crypto". I'm no cryptocurrency worshipper, but this is junk content.

I tend to agree for the base BTC case but the development and use trajectory of the Lightning protocol says otherwise.

That's a clickbait headline.

Cannot blame them for that though; nvidias rising valuation riding on the back of AI computation has been truly obscene.
