Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Your dealer only takes the Ketamine coins because of the speculative value.
nooooooo complicity in the thing that I loathe! Truly there is no redemption in this world of sin.
Unfortunately my options are pay several thousand every month, break into veterinary clinics which might leave them short for emergency surgery and involves some (but probably less than you think, I've seen drug safes with wafer locks lmao) risk, or use the Cryptos and pay like 20 bucks a month.
I guess suicide is in there too but I'd like to see my nieces and nephews grow up so there's that.
I was merely replying to this part
Without the speculators you might as well try and buy your ketamine with Monopoly money.
No need to get defensive. If you gotta buy Monero to medicate yourself that's a failure of the system.
I'm not defensive I think it's all hilarious.
And not quite, I used it quite a lot in the early days when it cost a few hundred to do anything and we were giving them out for free. Speculators came in much later, they were still useful when a bitcoin was like 1 us cent.
Quite funny really.
