The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

    No that’s pretty much on the money, but it’s also a problem with proof-of-work consensus algorithms specifically

    I don’t know I guess it’s just exhausting how everybody has to have a crazy out-there opinion about every fucking thing in or outside their spheres of competence and just loads up that shit with twitter irony like it’s free salad at a salad bar

      bullshit

      crazy out-there opinion

      loads up that shit with twitter irony

      That isn’t a generous reading of easily found and irrefutable information about the consequences of blockchain technology.
