Refreshing HN to find more signs of the cryptocalypse has definitely become a guilty pleasure of mine the last few days.
I really don't wish for it, because so many people would get caught in the crossfire, but there's still that fascination for the 'train wreck in slow motion'.
As a climate scientist (currently non-practicing) the cryptocalpyse is something I deeply wished for. If you want to make Ponzis that’s fine but there’s no reason to ruin the environment to do it. Tulips were a truly green asset bubble, maybe we could do them again. I feel sorry for the folks losing money, but not really because they still have more assets than I’ll ever have.
