Every now and then I remember how in 2014 I mined $20 worth of dogecoin, then said this is stupid and exchanged it for 0.05 bitcoin sent to a brainwallet. I can't remember the seed phrase, so it's just stuck in the blockchain, and is now worth $5000 -
Cryptocurrency is an abject disaster (drewdevault.com)> Cryptocurrency is one of the worst inventions of the 21st century. I am ashamed to share an industry with this exploitative grift. It has failed to be a useful currency, invented a new class of internet abuse, further enriched the rich, wasted staggering amounts of electricity, hastened climate change, ruined hundreds of otherwise promising projects, provided a climate for hundreds of scams to flourish, created shortages and price hikes for consumer hardware, and injected perverse incentives into technology everywhere.

Since people are still replying to this, let me be clear:
Yes, I know how bitcoin works. It's called a joke.
Pointing out that I'm wearing a mask and have pronouns in my bio does not make you look cool.
If you reply and have "bitcoin" in your bio, my robot will autoblock you. -
ahh much better. I now have a bot that will auto-block bitcoin fanboys who reply to me.
The bot searches my replies and blocks accounts with "bitcoin", "hodl" and similar words in the bio 😀
(Don't worry, if I'm already following you it won't block you!)

If you are trying to get in touch with me on Twitter today, I apologize. I almost certainly won’t be able to see your message since my mentions are being flooded by a brigade of people with extremely fragile egos and no sense of humor.

wow TIL don't tweet about B*tcoin or the fanboys come out in droves

The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment (medium.com)
What was meant to be a new, decentralised form of money that lacked “systemically important institutions” and “too big to fail” has become something even worse: a system completely controlled by just a handful of people.
