  • Crypto is not a scam, it’s just plain stupid.

    The entire idea behind it is what a third grader might come up with and think it’s a great idea. It’s not.

    It literally requires every connected wallet to process the same transactions as everyone else. Can you imagine doing billions of transactions per day this way? It is extremely inefficient and yes, this is one of the reasons why even the relatively low amount of transactions that Bitcoin processes costs more electricity than a small modern country.

    It’s in a way comparable to a cpu doing 6+7 in a single CPU cycle whilst AI needs to burn down a forest to answer the same question

    Crypto is stupid.

    I get what its trying to replace and i agree that the current system sucks as well for a long list of reasons, but crypto is NOT the solution. A fundamentally different system must be designed to be able to solve the issues that crypto is trying to solve



  • Seriously, hasn’t any of these companies looked around for the past decades?

    Whenever I read a report like this, said company will be dead or sold off for parts within a few years because all the customers walked away.

    You’re facilitating a basic service, a basic service people can easily do without. Don’t get cocky, be happy with what you got, be grateful, be sure your customers know you’re grateful.

    Get greedy gets death

    A driverless car without an emergency stop button IS a death trap. Arguing that this is not so is just really dumb, sorry. All big machinery have emergency stops for a reason, and the laws for those reasons usually are written in blood.

    A driverless car without an emergency stop is a disaster in the making





  • Bullshit

    Capitalism at its core that you allow free trading. And. It. Has. Been. Successful. Capitalism is what killed the USSR by sheer force.

    The problem arises when it’s not controlled at all. Apply those rules well and you get a powerhouse generating huge progress for everyone and the taxes and all will be able to pay for the social security network on top of that ensuring nobody gets left behind

    You can go to communism Island if you want and suffer under economic mismanagent, bit I’d rather have capitalism, thank you
