Oh and also PS I think it's important to note that in the last couple of years I've become increasingly bearish on crypto. In the last year especially. It seems like it runs a serious risk of being a tech that's just not going to pan out in the way the early adopters hoped it would. No real use. Desperately in need of regulation that it's community is resisting. There are a lot of realities about economics that I didn't under entirely understand when I was younger and things the government just has to do to regulate things.

2017. I worked part time and full time in the “industry” if you will. I traveled a lot to meet with VCs, start ups, and tech.

At first money got me interested, and then tech, and then money again when I learned 99% of it was a scam.

These icebergs are always a meme. Half of the stuff on these is made up nonsense just to fill the iceberg and sound "cool". 70% of what's in that iceberg has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies at all.

Since summer 2017 when ETH mining got big. Then started reading more about the tech because it aligned with my libertarian/anarchocapitalist views. For oldfags it's always some combination of libertarianism (ideology or just wanting to buy drugs) or tech. Now the OG idea is overshadowed by the moneymaking shitshow. It's still there and progressing though, only public opinion is taking heavy damage.

This is what makes me bullish. The internet was intended to be a digital library of research, for research, never intended to be a mall/theatre/town square/psyop/job board/pron repo/etc. Then it became a weird hobby for nerds, then it became a joke (don't believe the web, don't trust anyone on it, don't put in an online application) and now look at us. Crypto is a very similar tech advancing at a very similar rate.

yeah because your faggy "left libertarians" sold out and became shock-troops for censorious big tech companies.

Really funny how those who embody anti-censorship, privacy, and 'information wants to be free' ideals are the very online anime obsessed nazi and reactionary types.
