BTC broke below 60K USD.
This is literally the end of cryptocurrency forever.
It was fun while it lasted I guess 🤷

Sarcasm aside I wish I had a link to it or could quote it but a while back I posted when it was hovering ~100K that this was probably the last "hype cycle".

If you're just in it for the VC funding, AI has already eaten your lunch. If you're in it for the technology you've probably moved on to more interesting things.

Who is a diehard BTC fan in 2026? Are we down to Saylor and his cult members?

Trying to fit in with unpleasable people is a recipe for disaster

I think the best thing about AI chatbots is how they've collectively gotten people to more fiercely resent PR speak.

To be fair, I can understand the confusion with the way things are run.

My current working theory on human social corruption is that malevolent people flock to anything with the trappings of 'safety' and that means that safety in any human endeavor is at best a carefully curated illusion if not an outright lie.

Religion, Medicine, Law, Charities, whatever domains get their own micro tyrants / narcissists and then they cooperate via game theory. At that point they basically start "running the asylum".

People recognize this and think it's just a matter of "keeping them out" but this entirely ignores the real possibility of those within becoming corrupted by the (overinvested) trust.

This leads to withdrawl of trust which creates different dangers and different "safety signals" that are all in constant flux.

The amazing digital circus (idk I'm a millennial)

@icedquinn this observation alone deserves to pop the bubble IMO

Captcha was always malware, this is just its final form.

Its actually sad to see the EU take half-measures on the one thing they kinda do okay with: consumer protections.

It's that simple

Eventually they just kinda stopped looking into it all.

Hard to argue with the machine

@PurpCat what happened?

@sun Everyone has their breaking point. I think part of the game is that people are incentivized to punch down at each other for having different problems rather than taking aim at the underlying factors.

Which is why I hate the phrase "victim mentality" because it implies recognition of any external pressures must also be an admission of entirely giving up on personal agency.

War never changes, especially when it changes.
