SMH. Dear boy. We elders were taking it to the streets in the 60’s and 70’s—in huge numbers. We organized without social media, were willing to face danger and arrest, and got shit done. We were using DOS before you were probably even born (do you know what that is?). While many of us are, in fact, fading, there are legions of us with knowledge and experience you will never understand until YOU are an elder.
Before 1990?… fuck you.. I have kids born before 1990… elder my ass … I probably understand crypto better than you do…
I’m not bitter. Not at all.
Fuck, I'm considered an ELDER now?
Your elders refers to people older than you, not necessarily elderly people
Dispense your wisdom, o my elder. I'm just a nineties boy, what do I know of the world before ?
Fr. I just turned 40. Give me my senior discount card.
To be fair, us elders had grifts and money laundering too, so crypto is nothing functionally new.
I feel like its an advantage to know the analog way to do things in addition to the current norms. For example, navigating by paper map and direction of the sun, like some kind of land pirate.
Us elders be here designing the shit that does crypto.
Y'all don't understand. We had to learn you don't have to rewind DVDs before returning them. It was stressful.
I'm a xennial and I'd say I'm doing pretty good at keeping up, but I'm also a software dev so that probably skews things a bit.
I got to be alive before mobile phones and social media.
Worth it!
I am immeasurably grateful that the entirety of my youth is not on record.
Right? AFAIK there's about 5 pictures of me between the ages of 8 and 25. A couple of those are driver's licenses.
I seriously wonder how much brain damage I avoided by squeaking in my teenage years before the invention of smart phones.
Honestly I understand better now why old people complained about computers so much. We don't even know what we lost.
Who do you think built Crypto? The millennials were the ones building everything in the last 10-20 years. Be sorry for the boomers. They built the infrastructure we stand on but tech has completely changed since they left the workforce.
And at least when the chase check glitch fad went around we recognized it immediately as a felony. Gen Z jumped right on that grenade.
Boomers didn't build shit, they just pulled up ladders.
Don't confuse the politicians with the makers. They literally invented the entire backbone of the Internet.
FUCK YOU! I understand crypto and STILL have a VHS tape I never returned. pfft. arrogant youth. now where do i push to send this to reddit?
OK, this one kind of hurt a bit. I can't be the only one with a functioning VCR in the room with them right now...
The same room? Remember to take your meds
Nope.
I was born in 1983 and I’m old enough to remember having only 5 tv channels, vcr’s, and you couldn’t get on the internet if your mom was in the phone.
I can remember only having 3 TV channels, and they closed down sometime around midnight until the morning. You got the fuzzy black and white bits of CBR on the screen when they turned the signal off
When videos came out, only my richer friends had them and they were few and far between, we used to have an after school video club where we'd pay 10p to watch a film in the AV room (sat on a carpet of old piss stains)
The internet didn't exist, and I saw my first computer while at secondary school in the late 80's (I'm thinking BBC commodore or something, I can't really remember)
I feel so fucking old right now lol
As a kid we had four channels in the rural US. ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS had really good coverage and all shut down at midnight. Then a Fox station started up just close enough that I could pick it up clearly at night to watch Babylon 5!
It was happier times.
Reading this made my back and neck hurt lol.
I may be older but I know how to take a selfie without my phone in it.
Listen here you little shit: you think you’re superior because you rebranded Ponzi schemes with AI merde?
Crypto is an EMP away from being worthless
I'm against crypto but this logic seems same as money is one fire away from being worthless.
Which is true. We just give worth to things to make it easy for transactions.
