I mean, it's generally considered kind of a slur now? And also because it was a bit racist to begin with, since it measures progress against white, western ideas of progress.
But it's impossible to have a discussion about crypto with anyone who gets their information from one news source and a bunch of reddit comments, or whatever information you get from people who furiously agree with each other.
I don't think crypto is great, I think it's a useful tool.
I don't think you're arguing in good faith so w/e. Take it or leave it.
Oh shit, you finally got the point. I really don't care to argue with you. Your smarter than me. Bitcoin is clearly the wave of the future. I only read newspapers from the 90s or something. I must have no idea what it even is. Everyone who buys into crypto is a genius and we just don't understand it cuz it's so cool. New money>old money cuz techbro said so.
