  • All crypto is essentially designed around competition for who gets to be the one mining it. Things escalate, and that’s how you end up with these ridiculous crypto farms that use as much power as entire cities. No crypto currency is “green”. And UNLIKE cars, lights or banking, crypto serves no purpose, it’s currency that doesn’t get spent, it’s basically just there to fuel speculation for tech bros.

    Crypto is a complete waste of energy, it’s not ‘big money spinning Bitcoin as negative’, it’s just objectively idiotic, don’t listen to that comment.

    If you haven’t, I recommend watching Dan Olson’s documentary “Line Goes Up” on Youtube.














  • I fully support the arrest, those are serious threats and they should be met with serious consequences.

    It’s still weird to me that it was done in a classroom though. I understand the intent of “sending a strong message” but idk if I like it all that much. They could’ve arrested him at his home and forgo this whole performative stunt.

    When I was in high school someone in my class did some highly fucked up shit and got in very serious legal trouble for it (and we never saw him at the school again). After he was expelled/arrested, we just had a very long talk in class about what he did and why it was so serious and wrong, and it was effective, it’s one of few things I remember from high school now actually lol. We didn’t need to have the police show up to scare us into not doing it, at least I didn’t, idk how effective it was on everyone else.

    Not sure how I feel about that.
