      Even in the most ideal possible scenario for cryptobros, their magic internet money isn't actually designed to be a currency. There are gross inefficiencies inherent to the blockchain system that are multiplied if an entire nation's population is expected to use it for transactions on a daily basis.

        Like all techbros, the terrible consequences of their actions can be staring them right in the face, yet they are confident that someone out there is just going to invent a solution to the problem before it becomes a problem...

      Self-described "autodidacts" and sTEmlords (big emphasis on the TE, contempt for sciences too soft for treats and maths too hard for treats) tend to hold high opinions of themselves in categories of knowledge they have no actual experience in. They see their lack of knowledge as trailblazing and assume no one ever asked the same questions or tried the same solutions before.
