wait this community has been shilling a meme coin this whole time I thought were were larping as leftists is that shtick over?
Honestly we shoulda got in on the grift.
Wish I had known this was all gonna happen 10 years ago when I first heard about crypto and immediately was like “Huh that sounds interesting but impractical, there’s no way anyone is ever going to take this stuff seriously as a currency/asset” and here we are lol.
I used it to buy drugs and never touched it again. High quality drugs though
oh yeah it was sure good for that for a minute, but I meant it’s only possible use cases are shit like that or grifting and only because of capitalism/war on drugs.
It’s a novelty in search of a use case.

True, but I think blockchain technology in of itself has use cases. Bitcoin, Ethereum and co. can go ahead and die because they’re useless but the underlying technology is essentially a distributed database with built-in transparency mechanisms, meaning it could be used to facilitate for example state bureaucracy. You’d also make looking up and validating info etc way easier. I don’t think it’s an absolute necessity for a well-functioning state but it could have its uses.
What most cryptobros are peddling unfortunately is not that but rather pyramid schemes.
I fortunately don’t have any regrets since I was too young and poor to do anything when this stuff was new where I could have made lots of money. Also between then and now I definitely would have lost my wallet since I wasn’t intelligent enough to back things up.
Nah if you’d have bought in your material conditions would have made you a crypto bro
