but when I look around I see people everywhere fired up to fight for positive change, people who are existentially fed up with the status quo.

Yeah? So where were they when the election as going on?

I see people that don’t want to have to wait decades for a chance at bringing democracy back and are fighting in every way they can to stop the cruel conservative destruction of society and government happening all over the world, the US included (and chiefly responsible).

Yeah? So where were they when the election as going on?

I’m having a great time and I love watching what is going on.

No, the things I say, and the things people like me say will change things.

Yeah? And when is this change gonna happen? Lemmy users aren’t gonna look up from their vid games long enough to make any change happen. They’ll bitch about it on Lemmy. They’ll downvote posts they don’t like. They’ll upvote all talk of a revolution.

But none of them will do it. There will be no change. Look around. lol

Sure, but nothing you said is going to change anything. People are going to continue to gamble. And by cryptocoins. And listen to the U.S. Treasury Secretary. Regardless of how mad you are.

I totally support your right to your opinion. But the majority disagree with you.

Well, it’s the U.S. Treasury Secretary. Not that you’re wrong, but people have been saying that about Bitcoin for years.

I’m biased of course since bitcoin helped me retire early, but I don’t think it’s so much a “scam” as it is another form of gambling. Only buy as much as you can afford to lose if it all goes belly up.

But Bitcoin isn’t really anymore of a scam than the stock market these days. Both are gambling. Both involve people richer than us. Both involve computers/ai. And both an help ya out if you are cautious, wise, and watch the market closely.

But I def paid off my house before I fucked around with any of it! lol
