the only way Costco WON'T sell you 1k hotdogs, is if you try and pay in bitcoin.

Seems entirely likely we’ll have mass death in texas this summer due to crypto mining, this is good for bitcoin.

I'm pretty sure the only caveat is that you'd need to call them the day before to warn them you need 10,000 hotdogs.

You will not get in the way of Texans and their new crusade against ERCOT


Cold? ERCOT tells people to stop using heat

Hot? ERCOT tells people to stop using AC




Quite frankly the article could have said "ERCOT ate all of the babies and pooped on the american flag and also they called your mom fat" and I would share it to everyone I know in the hopes that this board gets thrown into a dumpster. gently caress ERCOT.

There's a This American Life episode about the bitcoin ATM in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. They interview a woman who was computer scammed and had to put cash into that one weird bitcoin ATM to pay the scammers and recover her files. They wind up tracking down the guys who operated the ATM and they're just pure web3 brain libertarians pretending that crypto still has a use other than scamming people.

The ATM was literally only for inserting USD into the crypto blackhole.

pretty sure that post has to be a joke or an idle musing or something just by being based on the core belief you could go into your local costco and say "yes one thousand hot dogs please" and they'd sell them to you
Perhaps not now but in the digital future Costco could have a smart contract for $1.50 hotdogs that enforces the sacred hotdog contract.

Absolutely criminal I can't buy 1000 hotdogs on demand costco, more like scamco.

Honestly I think we're nearing the series finale for humanity so the writers are just getting drunk and throwing out to most random, batshit plotlines possible and the studio is accepting it because why not?

he used to do neat looking abstract/scifi landscapes that made for good wallpapers, but around when trump got elected he started churning out bad "satire" and hasn't stopped

he did one of the biggest (possibly the biggest?) NFT sales with a collage of his first 5000 everyday pieces that sold for $69 million to some crypto investor
