he was getting like double digit views on his videos and this is his highest viewed video. so i'm guessing he's going to make more of them.

So what's the crypto community's response to the bust of those 2 jabronis? Because it seems to me that if the FBI, IRS, DOJ etc. etc. can just subpoena the gently caress out of any exchange then seize the coins when they catch up to the target doesn't that pretty much 100% destroy one of the biggest selling points of crypto? I thought they were supposed to be anonymous, safe and untraceable after a certain point. I wanna hear the crypto community explain how this could have happened cause it sure seems like the exchanges will crack under threat of the man, the man they were so sure they were going to take down with their stupid rear end monopoly money.

it's just like when bitcoin was supposed to the future of peer-to-peer payments for many years because it's instant (20-40 minutes) and no fees (massive fees), reality can just be ignored for the story, took like 8 years for them to give up on that

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

The decentralization ideology is secondary at best for most of the participants. It's just something to which they pay lip service for in-group signaling. Even the cringey rapper woman made sure to include lyrics about how "our cause is just!"

I doubt the NFT grift pivots away from OpenSea to a magically more "decentralized" platform before it runs out of steam. It's just functional enough to part people from their money and enable the founders and investors to take a cut. That's what matters. (And, of course, having a way to get back to money that you can actually spend, but the first person to stand up from the table may be the one who starts the rush out the door...)

If you're still hearing about crypto-coin crap in 10 years, my wild-rear end guess is it will be some kind of esoteric alternative system for allocating cloud computing resources. That seems like what most of the big-name VCs pushing crypto are angling for, and it makes sense. Making your computer make internet money for you drove a lot of the early enthusiam. Cloud services have also been a huge chunk of the bottom line for SaaS startups this whole time. If you could plug your servers in and mine tokens to get them to at least pay for themselves, even if you're sharing your resources with others, that's a dragon they're going to chase no matter what. Now, would such a mythical system ever be as reliable and responsive as a basic Amazon web services instance, or the cheapest Cloudflare package? I don't know, how well has this stuff been scaling so far...?

Last time I looked into it there were tons of miners/potential hosts but like no customers who were willing to put thier poo poo on a decentralized cloud. Not only was it more expensive, because all the poo poo is priced in stupid speculative tokens, but you don't get any of the compliance standards that are really important for a cloud service providers to have (SOC, PCI, FedRamp and others).

I guess the value prop is there is no one data center/customer that the FBI can kick the door down on? But again, this would only really appeal to parties hosting illegal poo poo and not legitimate businesses.
