    You’ve done it! You’ve fully killed Bitcoin! Now it will certainly become irrelevant! In 5 years, the top answer for “what would you do if you had a time machine and went back 5 years?” definitely won’t still be “Buy more Bitcoin.”

      Of course cryptocurrencies will exist in the future. Same as simpler pyramid schemes, corruption, human trafficking, and banging your finger on a corner of a table. It’s not an indication of any positive quality of those things.

        It’s Avon for Cis Dudes that make fun of Avon ladies

        It’s the Lottery for STEM Majors that make fun of grandpas that play the lottery.

        I’d say ‘it’s religion for reddit atheists’, but it’s not. AI is religion for reddit atheists. “The rapture AGI is right around the corner and when it comes around God will save the righteous and punish the sinners we will live in post-scarcity utopia. Just please ignore all the priests committing horrid crimes on children actual AI copmanies being owned by technocrats with fascist leanings who seem very horny for the idea of never having to pay a worker again. Until then we just need to pray and proselytize very hard keep investing on DA FUTER”

      Have you heard of the lottery?

      Whole-ass time travel to “buy more bitcoin”, what a clown.
