there is some strong copium in the article, combined with a total description of having a massive gambling addiction without, y’know, actually realising it’s an addiction
remarkable stuff

look at coindesk.com/livewire some time. that’s the feed of every article. it’s over 50% copium.
and this article quotes FUCKING ROKO
yeah
Considering the opening sentence (and literally everything that surrounds crypto), it’s so obvious that it’s a scene constituting of people who think they are way smarter than they actually are.
excessive consumption of adderall in certain companies involved in crypto might be not a coincidence
insert be honest/thank you meme here
jesus fuck so much copium compressed in two short paragraphs
it’s called ransomware, drug trade, sanctions evasion and money laundering

this is not what circular economy means, crypto is about maximizing waste, not reducing it
bitchass motherfucker, we understand what you’re talking about, we just answer no
also not a cult
awful.systems is probably blissfully defederated from monero[.]town, these weirdos from time to time swarm any crypto mentioning thread
Cryptobros are something else.
I remember a day at university, had 2 hours to waste before the next lecture, so I thought I’d mingle with the others. Walk up to a table, 2 dudes doing homework for a lecture I am attending as well. We exchange pleasantries and go on about working through the assignment together.
They start talking about Dogecoin and how it will be the next big thing. Ask me if I have a wallet, I say I’m not into crypto. They start evangelizing about crypto and how it’s “for the common people” and how I really need to join their quest to be financially independent. Ascertain that I’m good and I want to focus on the assignment, but give the idea a thought. One of them drops the line “Dude, so cool that you’re aboard. Trust me, we are gonna be the next viral thing!”
I laugh, pack my shit together and leave. From there on out, I spent my free time in between lectures alone.
