Bitcoin is 15 years old.
To put that in perspective:

The web started in 1991. 15 years later, in 2006, we had youtube, twitter, amazon, ebay - the world was unrecognisable.

What have we got in that timeframe from #blockchain? Ashes.

Amazing. We overconsume, get bombarded with "alternative facts" quadrupled the speed we destroy our planet.

Bitcoin is a Gem compared to ebay, amazon ans YouTube

Just saying

@strigga_ I won't defend those at forms, sure. But they have some utility, at least!

@noboilerplate @strigga_ I sort of struggle with this, because I see where the argument comes from, but crypto does have some utility for some people... in many parts of the world it ends up being used over national currency for various reasons, and those under financial oppression greatly rely on it

Now just to clarify I largely see crypto as a bust and waste of potential, but it is still useful, at least sometimes :p
