    They were all expecting it to skyrocket after it moved to Proof of Stake from Proof of Work but it went down because they're all goldbugs who accidentally stumbled upon the dumbest possible version of the labour theory of value.

        They are always expecting a "to the moon" moment. Gamespot permanently broke their brains.

            which is very funny when you consider that the stock market started out as a way for merchants to diversify their cargo across ships. A pun 500 years in the making

          I had a family member try to explain to me why GameStop was still going to go up even though it had been trending down for several months (i sold and made a couple thousand dollars profit as soon as it started correcting lmao). Since then it has only continued to drop, and they haven't talked about stocks since.

      My girlfriends older brother is a crypto bro and he was telling me all about how environmentally friendly these new proof of stake cryptos were. And then they just go and do proof of work because, as we all know, they are greedy animals.

      God, he's such a boring bastard. He made her wear some absurdly expensive rolex for her much delayed graduation the other week, and then at the meal after spent the whole time telling us how expensive it was and how he bought it to support the family in the event that he died... The rest of the time he had his airpods id and was doing this weird gyrating dance as he was sitting in his seat.

        Ah yes, a good whose value drops by half the moment it leaves the store is the best type of life insurance.
