I like crypto, it’s interesting, from a technical perspective.

And if you e ever had to send money to a foreign currency and pay exchange rates then sending a bit of crypto is like “huh, so that’s how that should feel”.

However, the argument that you need it to be free from government and society troubles me because it all runs on electricity and other infrastructure. Maybe solar panels and satellites will help in the short term, but we’d need a bit more of a robust internet solution.

I really like cardano’s approach. Trial in places that aren’t developed countries. That will teach you a lot.

Everyday on hacker news there is a new shit-on-web3 post on the fp. To me this would be a strong signal to buy some.
