Can you see how “there’s not a better solution” isn’t addressing the problem that crypto is fundamentally a scam?

Also, you can’t pay your rent with crypto either….

EDIT: if you want crypto to pass my sniff test, you have to explain where value comes from.

Fiat currency is valuable because I can pay my taxes with it. (This is really the only reason it has value).

So what underpins crypto value beyond “it’s the future”

All (capitalistic) money is a scam.

We’re just forced to use a currency because governments say so.

So yes, your crypto is still a scam. Because money still vanishes into thin air when line goes down.

Only available in the EU

You’re trying to please a boomer that’s still angry that email exists in the first place.

Because that’ll last

a little further down, emphasis my own

Though the famous online names are not directly linked with these deaths, students feel betrayed by the lack of vocal or visible support. They believe none of them would be running profitable businesses or be household names if it were not for them.

So again, why are people getting angry at the YouTubers?

I mean the article made it sound like a standard tutorial grifters, so I’m not sure I feel bad for them, but I still have that question.

That would defeat the purpose of federation.

It becomes a central choke point of moderation. Who gets to decide what instances are part of global and which ones aren’t. Because a free for all isn’t going to end well. And then you’re back at Reddit.

That assumes you don’t value your time spent dealing with troubles that come.

Like the other person said, it’s fine if you don’t, but for me it’s worth a little upfront cost to have to deal with less ordering new drives, putting the drive in the server, monitor rebuilding of the array, ect…

None of that is an excuse for lack of proper backups. Because even new drives can fail catastrophically.

NASA also consistently provides new innovation and new science.

What will the dome keep contributing to society for the absurd electricity cost it takes to keep running? Advertisements?

Yeah, there not really the same argument.

Okay but like, you also realize gas fees for transactions can get stupid expensive right? Banks don’t have variable rates.

That’s what they said about bitcoin, and there’s still nothing useful at any kind of scale outside of scams.
