#SCTP 18 - I've consolidated the previous #18 talking point with another one and used that slot to address another issue: Is #bitcoin really "the most secure network?"

Imagine if 16 years ago, Satoshi invented the "shit sandwich" and said it was going to replace our food. Then an administration was elected that promised to make all school lunches shit sandwiches and suspend investigations into whether shit sandwiches taste like shit..

Ironically, one advantage to government being so "bloated" is it's proving more difficult for the fascists in the executive branch to take things over - not impossible, but having checks and balances spread out across so many different departments now makes more sense.

Imagine if the library was forced to accept any publication or else it was considered a violation of "free speech?" It would be filled with advertisements and useless/toxic/misleading propaganda. THAT in a nutshell is what's been happening to the #internet and some social media sites.

People talk a lot about being kind and forgiving to those who wrong you, but being "christ-like" makes more sense if you know three days later you'll come back from the dead.

#Crypto is a scam. It really is as stupid as it sounds: 1. Convince people to buy worthless tokens on the premise they'll be valuable. 2. Stupid people drive up price and add liquidity to the market. 3. Operators sell their tokens, take the liquidity, leaving others with worthless tokens.

#SCTP 16: "#Bitcoin is different" As more and more crypto projects reveal they're nothing more than scams, bitcoin bros continue their desperate argument that "#crypto is not bitcoin" and that somehow their ponzi is not a ponzi like the others. This is false. These token schemes are 99.9% the same.

#SCTP 15: "It's still early" #crypto bros have been saying now for 16 years that "#bitcoin is like the Internet" and it "has potential" but still can't point to a single useful thing it does for normal people. It's as old as the iPhone, but look how far the iPhone has come?

#SCTP 12: #Crypto #market #cap Crypto people love to misappropriate terms from #TradFi and apply them to their digital tokens, despite this not making sense. The term "market capitalization" is one of those abused terms that doesn't have any real meaning when attributed to crypto projects.
