    I work with someone who once proclaimed to me in the first informal conversation I had with him that “I’ve never been that financially minded but cryptocurrency has got me so fascinated”, and the monologued about it for 10 minutes. He’s one of those “in it for the tech” people who somehow think that blockchain is going to revolutionize anything and everything. He has also said he wants to move to Miami because of the “hot crypto tech scene there”.

    I wonder if the crypto markets will stay irrational long enough to outlast Miami’s drinking water supply.

      I honestly don’t understand what’s so revolutionary about blockchain that it will cure the world’s social and environmental ills.

        I once had this tech guy explain to me how NFT's could somehow make coupon cards at takeout places better by somehow making coupons "transferable". He never got to tell me why a centralised authorisation server wouldn't work but he was very excited about the idea.

          Finally. We can live in a marketplace with transferable coupons. What a game changer. The world will never be the same again.
