WELL THAT SUCKED.

basicly just punched out a 2500 word essay on cryptocurrency last night.

My god, i learned more about the subject in 12 hours of writing and research then i would have ever cared to learn about it in my life.

all I’m seeing is $ signs and code and buillshit.

At least that was my last assignment for the year. Now, sit back, wait for the marks to come in, pray to whatever god will listen that i passed, and enjoy the holidays.

OH MOTHER FU—-

some of it is actually REALLY interesting .

but its takes a bit to wrap your mind around it. I’m still not ENTIRELY sure how to actually mine a bit coin. but for the purposes of my essay, it didnt matter

Just more wasted resources on account of crypto currency.

meh. I wouldnt call it wasted.

the idea is intresting. and I can kinda get behind it.

However, it needs refinement on SEVERAL different levels.

M e and one of my neighbors were explaining cryptocurrency to four of our other neighbors at dinner on Saturday. I could have benefited from your essay, it might have summarized the topic better than we did.

If you have a TON of time to kill, cryptonomicon by meal Stephenson is a great, if long, book. As always with him, you gotta take it with a grain of salt, since he writes about stuff in fiction only a few years off, so when you go back years later it's like "yeah, so what" about all the stuff he got right but is now commonplace. Like crypto currency.

I’d love to read it, I was talking about it with the guy who pumped our septic, of all things. I think he was honestly one of the more interesting people I’ve met this year. In any case, if you feel like sharing it I’m stepper 459 at gmail.

Cheers

I’m assuming there is an underscore between stepper and 459?

The moment has passed, but I’m curious about whether I got anything wrong. There you go, you are now a subject-matter expert on cryptocurrency.

car 2014 email at mail of G dot com (remove spaces and fix the domain and you have my automotive email).

Did it touch on conspiracy theories?

Every crypto-head I’ve personally known is also a conspiracy theorist (and half the time a trust funder too)

It’s definitely an area that’s full of scams and hype and prospectors but also some very interesting technology and ideas . I’ve been involved as a Miner (and a little bit of speculation) since 2014 and it’s been an interesting journey for sure.

Oddly enough I made a lot more money building and selling mining rigs than mining over the years.
