Stupidmanager@lemmy.worldtoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•I Wasted 8 Years of My Life in CryptoEnglish
3·9 days agoYes, but last year a cheese burger cost me 20% less and my dollar went further. You’re trying to argue the USD is the best form of currency because it’s used nearly everywhere, I’m telling you that it’s only the best currency today because it was stable in the past and backed in value by the commodities around the world. $100 today still gets you food and drink but soon it’ll buy you a whole lot less. The foreseeable future is here dude, sadly, Americans are in for a shock with this whole isolation focus the USD drops from favor.

8·9 days agoLook, truth is crypto is only profitable because someone has assigned value and another person is willing to buy it.
In a capitalist society, this is how things work. The US dollar technically isn’t backed by anything either, yet people around the world use it for trading commodities. But now we can start to see the cracks in that plan, world wide, as the USA tries to isolate itself from the world. I’m not the only one here thinking the same thing. China is oddly taking a lead in technology and innovation, the EU sleeping giant is about to wake up and figure life is passing it by. All while Russia and the USA want the 1950s back in style.
Why the off topic rant? Because crypto is doing what it has been driven towards: making someone else money and someone else wanted to make money AND at $96000 for a virtual token, someone likely is.
Bitcoin, Etherem: all product of a bright people with no intent on making millions. But one day, someone felt that Bitcoin could be used to buy a pizza… and now we have a market and defi banking and loans and fair trade for services AND… a constant change in the value of goods and services, just like the USD.
So like it or not, crypto is working as it’s intended.
Also, I’m entirely out of crypto. I hope it crashes the market and capitalism just dies.

Think of it like pay per view tv. We subscribe to the MadMax channel and watch as they tear themselves apart. Are You NOT ENTERTAINED!?!?

7·21 days agoNot to be an asshole but uh, that is what got us into this mess. Maybe not you specifically, but uninformed ignorant people who never took the time to learn and voted cause they saw that orange idiot on tv and he claimed he too was a racist fuck who was going to clean up the swamp.
Meh. I like to cook and it’s far better than the uber eats slop that I need to reheat that I just spent $35 plus tip on which would have cost me $14 to just eat at the restaurant but I wanted the free fries and bogo burger when I spent $30.

3·23 days agoOh. We can save you poor child from your Canadian bonds. No more high taxes, no more socialized healthcare. Nope, you get to freely go into massive amounts of debt because you had a heart attack while unemployed and had to choose between food and cobra insurance that is 3x… wait where was I going with this? Right right. Freedom… Tell you what, just stay there, it’s better. Fuck it, even I’m leaving. See you American fuckers when you can afford to take off 5 days for a cram filled vacation in Spain.

politics @lemmy.world•AOC is plotting a run for president in 2028: reportEnglish
1·3 months agoI know I’m a day late here replying but this narrative is just antiquated like our entire system. If we want to keep at this, we don’t need her after a stint in the Senate, we need her now. What exactly will she gain by going that route? Because it’s the best way to gain respect? Maybe she’ll get some experience?
Look, statistically you are right. But let’s run the facts, normal is just a setting on the dryer and we’re not playing by the standard rulebook anymore.

Oh, you have no idea. If you don’t have a job (or 5), then you’re going to prison for being a vagrant. Or they do some dystopian shit where you are in the equivalent work labor camp, where you are provided basic life necessities in exchange for paying off your debt by working based on your skills. No skills? Manual labor in farms or construction.
People really have no idea what we’re complacently walking into. If you’re not rich, and I mean a few million american dollarooos or trump bucks… say next 10 years…? You’re fucked.




Something tells me we’re about to find out how the USA is going to enforce Genetic essentialism.
