remember when mainstream news outlets published a bunch of incredibly irresponsible articles about how rich people were getting off crypto, and then people bought in and got wrecked over the two years of "crypto winter" that followed?

anyway here's a WSJ headline i just saw: "Young Men Are Making Risky Bets on Crypto and Politics—and Raking It In Right Now"

@molly0xfff Imagine for a second what the world could be like if those "Young Men" were hunkered over a cheap home dialysis method, or a widely distributable CO2 collector, or PFOS cleanup.... instead of literally breaking the shreds of what's left of Capitalism, you know, that concept that's supposed to voluntarily motivate people to build useful things.
