Even as an air quotes “tech person” I just don’t know what to make of crypto in general. Even after personally experimenting with the eco-friendly proof-of-stake (proof-of-space) Chia one… what is it really? What purpose does it serve? Who benefits? I was in the trenches there for a while and I was like “what are we fighting for” like in a damn Joseph Heller novel.
But 2009 to 2022 = 13 years.
The only lesson I can glean is “somehow, bitcoin still manages to exist.”
