Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
Any moderately skilled programmer could write an AI that would be just as annoying as your average crypto shill:

Step One: hey guys whats going on in this thred?

Step Two: i have a new scam, it's totally not like all the others because THIS SCAM took us four years to figure out. i must describe it using paragraph and paragraphs of word salad.

Step Three: hey, hey guys, please take me seriously

Step Four: you guys all suck

Step Five: i'm leaving now (but really doesn't, the AI would sit back and monitor the thread, maybe for key words or just generate a random time to return).

lol, crypto bros are loving hilarious; you all want wealth so badly that you have problem loving other people over for it. The irony is that none of you would know what to do with actual wealth so you'll end up pissing it away anyway.

i can buy chipotle for ~$10.

or i can setup some wallet service that produces some type of cryptocurrency that i can't convert back into actual money, which has to use this "L2" service because, "L1" is too slow thus forcing me to use the services of a centralized authority to help speed transactions up which then uses complex mathematical proofs to verify the validity because apparently the centralized authority i use can't do that itself all so in the end the service can generate a gift card with a QR code that tells chipotle that someone gave them $10 in real money.

real wealth is built up slowly and deliberately over decades, unless you are willing to steal other peoples money. it's boring, but i sleep much better at night.

i'm not just talking about money, but relationships, which is something else i suspect crypto bros just aren't very good at.

e: lol, i'm calling it right now; friends on the blockchain and friends by concensus and FrieNdFTs. it's the future of relationships!

crypto bros honestly don't understand why video game logic doesn't work with real money. news at eleven.

e: i'm starting to worry that these crypto bros don't realize everything in a video game is not real. They know it's all just ones and zeroes that have absolutely no bearing on the real world, right? Right?

This is really loving funny but I didn't get it until I read an explanation that the NFTs, which cost 800 dollars or some poo poo for a raffle ticket with a CHANCE to get one, is just a straight copy paste of a model from a $29.99 asset pack of horse armor skins from the unreal engine assest store.

A lot of them do have basically a young child's, or 90s TV writer's, understanding of video games.

Mind you, real money operating on video game logic is pretty much mainstream economics as taught in Western schools and colleges.

“Flexa processes the payment "in under a second," it said, and then settles with Chipotle in either fiat or crypto.

It was unclear which option Chipotle will choose. Flexa doesn't share how its partners receive their payouts, said co-founder Trevor Filter in an emailed statement. "What we can disclose is that while many merchants choose to receive payouts in their local currency, more and more merchants are beginning to explore holding digital assets on their balance sheet," he said.

Chipotle did not respond to a request for comment.”

I wonder which they’ll pick :allears:

Importantly, issuing a debit card would have necessitated adherence to all of the existing Know Your Customer verifications and credit checks currently involved with opening a bank or payment card account. We want to make payments more accessible in addition to more efficient, and the current ecosystem’s barriers to entry can be especially prohibitive to some.

guys they didn't want to do kyc verifications because they just want to help the unbanked buy a burrito at chipotle and then buy halo infinite at gamestop uwu.

Look guys, I dunno why you're not jumping on the bandwagon to save 25% off a purchase at Gamestop on a single day of the year, versus the 2% cashback on all purchases I make with my card. The math just works out!!! (if you never purchase anything and live a hermetic existence and don't know steam exists)

Also the fact that you have to make purchases and consider that your balance is in a stablecoin because of tax reasons is unintentionally hilarious. "Sorry, selling my staked shitcoin is a taxable event, that's why I can't get lunch with you all" is the worst excuse to trot out with your coworkers.
