My friend just got a bill for unpaid taxes in his state. Turns out, his employer at the time gifted him some sort of bonus in the shitcoin that the company themselves minted for their NFT gaming platform or some shit. Him being an ideological little snot who didn't want to sully his hands on crypto, left the crypto in the wallet and never reported it as income. Womp womp. Now he owes $500 to his state and the shitcoin bonus (still in the wallet he abandoned), might now be worth about a $1.15.

Yeeesh. Vlad Costea is playing on hard mode. Spent years making privacy coin what-aboutism ragebait to farm engagement from bitcoin radical smoothbrains. Now he's an INCEL NEET. Hope his shitcoin friends can lift his spirits up. View quoted note →

Things I have seen happen over and over but, like Cassandra, am consigned to watch happen over and over again: 1. LARPertarians keep piling ideological baggage onto good, concrete solutions to the point that purity tests and radicalization obscure the original purpose. 2. Some bit player in bitcoin "culture" skips their medication, catches "Main Character Syndrome", and channels all their mania into "saving bitcoin". 3. A mob of non-technologists gets whipped up into a towering, conspiracy-fueled frenzy in service to a fork that, in all likelihood, will end up an altcoin.

What if we are all just trapped in here with each other.

AI is probably the closest thing I am going to have in my lifetime to a talking spaceship that helps me get out of precarious jams, and I'm okay with that. What a time to be alive.
