    The whole first world-third world designation thing is about as outdated at your information.

      You’re right I’ll go dump all my retirement savings into whatever crypto is the next big thing tomorrow. What was I thinking, new money is so much better than old money. Cuz it’s worth more money than old money and money’s better.

      P.S. it’s easy to tell where the third world starts, it’s where they use crypto instead of a central bank currency.

        I mean, it’s generally considered kind of a slur now? And also because it was a bit racist to begin with, since it measures progress against white, western ideas of progress.

        But it’s impossible to have a discussion about crypto with anyone who gets their information from one news source and a bunch of reddit comments, or whatever information you get from people who furiously agree with each other.

        I don’t think crypto is great, I think it’s a useful tool.

        I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith so w/e. Take it or leave it.

          Oh shit, you finally got the point. I really don’t care to argue with you. Your smarter than me. Bitcoin is clearly the wave of the future. I only read newspapers from the 90s or something. I must have no idea what it even is. Everyone who buys into crypto is a genius and we just don’t understand it cuz it’s so cool. New money>old money cuz techbro said so.
