First of all I am 49 so feel free to call me an oldfag or boomer or whatever you want I really don’t give a fuck. I am Gen X and have been a computer chad ever since I dialed up a BBS on a 110/300 baud modem on my parent’s Apple ][+ in 1983 and absolutely losing my shit after my dad took me to see Wargames in an actual movie theater. I have managed to live my life like a normal human being with the ability to interact and even thrive socially despite being surrounded by people with only above-average or worse levels of intelligence. I could go on with my academic and real-world credentials but who fucking cares because I could be making it all up anyway.
My point is I have perspective and have seen the evolution of our economy from cash-based transactions to an almost completely cashless society. Right now we are using late-20th century / early 21st century tools (e.g. Paypal style applications, Apple pay, Google pay, Samsung pay, etc) to access centralized banking systems and fiat currency methods that have existed for at least 3 millennia. Yet we are using an infrastructure (the Internet) that is almost 100% decentralized by nature. We have seen huge leaps forward in decentralized applications like YouTube, social media, etc in Web 2.0 – but this is merely a stepping stone to Web 3.0, which will be a complete adoption of a fully decentralized reality.
A 2009 (or so) technology like Blockchain has evolved to the point where even shithead low IQ rappers are talking about buying “Bitcoin stock”. Normie sheep are following the herd and accepting that this Bitcoin thing is something that has value. But the vast majority of we fuckers on this forum are different (except for most of you pajeet street shitters who keep spoofing phone numbers to tell me my “iCloud account has been hacked”).

Most of you people understand the intrinsic value of currency as a store of wealth and blockchain tech as a vastly more efficient vehicle of transactions. We are all way ahead of the curve, even if you turned down the chance at picking up Bitcoin for fucking pennies back in 2010. I didn’t have a time machine back then and the risk/reward didn’t hash out, so fuck you. I’ve downed about 5-6 drinks in the last couple hours and have to get up early to walk my kids to the bus stop tomorrow, so I doubt I will even be awake to read your responses. I can only hope you are complete assholes and you are sarcastic and condescending in your replies. I would hope for nothing less.
My point:
If you want to day trade then God love you. Make your quick buck and I hope you get your lambo and cheap Asian whores. You are keeping the dream alive and contributing to the ecosystem, whether you win or lose. But for the rest of you sane motherfuckers, if you have doubts about buying and hodling, establishing your place in the new paradigm that will reach full adoption over the next 10 years, then hold strong and keep the faith. Identify and eliminate excessive wasteful instant consumerism that rewards instant gratification (but for fucks sake still enjoy yourself a little here and there, you aren’t a fucking monk). Realize that the dollar is doomed, cash is trash, and governments are already creating 0’s and 1’s to perpetuate the myth of the value of fiat currency.
Most of us here are still in the minority of early adopters. Many of us can see the future unfolding in front of us. Some of us are at least moderately autistic but still have balls of steel. Store your wealth away now, believe in the future of blockchain, and reap the disproportionately high rewards that await us in the coming decade. I will see all of you random anonymous assholes in Valhalla. Also fuck trannies, fuck jannies, and fuck “”“bankers”””.

It has taken me 10 years of balancing the risk/reward between actually living a decent life and ensuring the continuation of my blood line, but I am 100% confident that Web 3.0 is the future and Blockchain is the way.

I have been 20% into Bitcoin (gold), 30% into ETH (oil), 40% into emerging "service" vehicles (e.g. GRT, LINK, ADA, XMR, thegoogleyoutubeinstagrammyspaceebaypornhubofblockchain), 10% into longshots (e.g. RBC, BAO, REEF,), and 100% into fucking your mom or girlfriend whomever is hotter.

>Yet we are using an infrastructure (the Internet) that is almost 100% decentralized by nature
Stopped reading there. The Infrastructure my be decentralized technically, but in practice it is very susceptible to attacks and centralized issues. As in you must route through your ISP, and you are basically forced to use DNS to access websites. Not only that, you now need shit like DDOS protection to prevent your website from being taken offline. That’s not even to mention the poor physical resiliency of the Internet. I could go cut a wire and take a whole neighborhood offline if I was so inclined. I may give the rest of this a read because I’m sure it has some value, but let’s focus on these issues please. They are serious issues.

You are welcome and thank you for saying this. Not to sound like a fag but I needed what you said too to know I am not alone. We have to hold the line and believe in what we know this is going to become. Don't fuck up and invest more fiat than we need to meet our current obligations and for fucks sake don't use credit. I know that if I pass on this like I did in 2009/2010, or 2017, I will have failed myself, my wife, my children, and their destiny.

>>26644159
Thank you anon. My parents are boomers but they are not like the rest of their asshole peers. They taught me to enjoy life, but work hard, value family, don't fuck people over, but take intelligent risks. But more than anything to be skeptical of people who think they are smarter than you, more important than you, or try to tell you what the fuck to do. They gave me the tools to figure out the corporatists, globalists, and politicians pretend they have my interests in mind when in fact the opposite is true.

>>26644166
Thank you too anon. You remind me of what things were like in BBS land in the 1980s. Strangers yet brothers in arms. I passed on mining BTC when I had a Mac G4 but have turned my regret into a burning passion to not seize on what is the closest thing to a sure thing I have ever seen. I also sucked and continue to suck ass at Oregon Trail but am a legit Akalabeth and Ultima I veteran. Galaga also ate too many of my quarters (which are inflation adjusted to about $3 each today).

I agree, but the risk and investment of assaulting the physical infrastructure are far more costly than the benefits. Nation states can best benefit from adjusting and adopting to the game (the EU is cucked but they are the closest). Some rando anon cyber punk Guy Fawkes could pull of some elaborate scheme but I have a better chance of hitting the PowerBall with a $1 invested each week.

Points taken though. The tech still must evolve but I believe it will. The rewards are so incredibly high and innovation/entrepreneurialism will prevail.

Also point taken. The internet still remains relatively decentralized (not like it was in the glory days). But the cost of disrupting that compared to the amount of actual wealth not to mention future wealth invested would have catastrophic repercussions. I can't imagine the blowback if the globohomo corporations attempted to shut it all down. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it seems like an unlikely outcome.

I will add that this is where perspective comes into play.
Zoom out and you have to at least acknowledge that the Internet is far more decentralized than it was even 10 years ago.
I agree the centralized powers (Big Tech, the ChiComs) are threatening the decentralized nature. That is a distinct threat and a challenge we are currently losing. Doesn't change the fact that the tech is here and being adopted, and that we have the ability to strengthen our relative position. The fact that you assholes are even here debating the details supports that.
