• Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, does not believe in cryptocurrencies, calling them a vehicle for scams and a Ponzi scheme.
  • Torvalds was once rumored to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, but he clarified it was a joke and denied owning a Bitcoin fortune.
  • Torvalds also dismissed the idea of technological singularity as a bedtime story for children, saying continuous exponential growth does not make sense.

    There’s a few with a thousand on top of all time for Lemmy. It would have to break those before it gets there. But since we’ve got a perfect storm of Linux, crypto, and anti ai discussions going, all we need is @[email protected] to make a top level comment about how not voting for Biden is voting for Trump to really push it over the top.

      I’ve seen enough of pugs vitriolic, egotistical, disingenuous tirades for one day tbh.

      Cryptobros will take any opportunity to market their Ponzi scheme, even to people who seem adamantly opposed.
