I've been saying it for a while now that legalization should involve some producing countries to fully make sense. There's no need to grow weed under artificial lighting when the stuff you can get from Morocco or Afghanistan is so incredibly good. Like, seriously, anybody who's ever smoked a good traditional Moroccan hashish, not the crappy soapbar stuff, but Hia or a really strong Pollem, or has had some of the sticky black hash that's produced in Afghanistan,Kashmir, Manali, Nepal, anybody who's ever gotten high off that knows how excellent outdoor grows can work in the right climate. Yields are great, too, plants in Afghanistan reach heights of 6 meters, literal fucking trees dripping with resin. And people in Europe or the US are growing the stuff under bulbs.
Counterpoint: It's a medium which can be used to conduct trade by state entities that can effectively dodge US sanctions and undermines US global financial hegemony.
Make a bunch of money for nothing? Value comes from labor not like minting money.
My hate for bitcoin comes from me feeling like it's really stupid and kind of a scam, and yet some people are like sycophantically devoted to bitcoin. Also the fact that it's used for like, gun running, money laundering, and sex trafficking.
"Passive Income" is fucking Satan if I have anything to say about it.
Yeah if you have a retirement account through work or whatever, do what you have to do. If you want to load $50 (or even a few thousand if you can afford it) into Robinhood and try your odds, then go for it. Definitely not something I would be "proud" of or excited about outside of the fact that I might really need the money by any means possible (it definitely feels good to have your needs met ofc)
the real reason computer gaming parts are artificially scarce is to create bitcoin for black market shit. so our whippersnapper vidya progrums are expensive because of child porn money laundering

Can't all those stupid mathematic equations the mining rigs do be used for, like, anything?
maybe protein folding? or some space stuff?

it could be, for example when mining 'Curecoin' you compute biomedical simulation stuff to help develop therapeutics for a bunch of diseases

Crypto hate for me is entirely fueled by the obscene waste of energy it is and the damage to the environment for no fucking reason

Are there any states that are currently using it for this purpose?
Venezuela and I think the DPRK might have stolen some
:juche:
Yeah, Venezuela has been using some kind of crypto to trade in violation of their sanctions.

I'm supposed to start caring about gamers PC parts now? I say let the capitalists choke on their own creation.
Whatever, imagine if, in the middle of quarantine, they were skyrocketing the price of, I dunno, your boomer teevee progrums.
Uh good?
so you'd pay $90 to watch an episode of Matlock so some nerds can buy child porn?
What's that got to do with child porn? I would raise the cost of living for Americans until the aren't any left

The Chinese are cracking down on crypto as it happens
