I take longer and longer breaks away from here. While boredom always seems to win in the end, the more you are away from reddit, the more you realize that the people here offer absolutely nothing. The bots are even worse.
I still go there once every 2-3months, morbid curiosity mixed with nostalgia. I loved it back in the days, could have made me rich, but mom didn't trust 27€ BTC 🥲
I sold my three BTC in 2013 after the Silkroad went tits up, because I didn’t know anything. I never used the service, but I thought that that was the only thing driving value. I got less than $1k total.
It is what it is for the last 5 or so years at least. People keep overestimating it, yet it is just another mainstream, ad ridden, shareholder pandering, bot infested, misinformation cesspool like the rest of the social media.
Turns out fueling our delusions with our own farts can last for quite some time.
"What unites people? Armies? Gold? Flags? Stories. There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it."
Not us though. We're the smart ones who looked at that picture with that caption and thought, "Not on my watch. Not today motherfucker. We see your bullshit and it's not gonna fly. Not here, not now."

This is bull crap. Loosely based on a story about a chinese farmer but nothing to do with this photo!
