I don’t expect them to understand crypto. No one expects them to understand crypto.

I expect them to understand FUCKING FASCISM.

Personally I love being part of the evolution of computers. I was born at a time where I could be part of "moderne" or rather "not too nerdy" phase of computers, and to see the whole evolution of electronics and so on. I don't envy the younger generations that kind of skipped to the "end part" (computers being "easy"). I know that a lot of things will still be developed and we are only seeing the first of AI stuff now and VR is also still a minor thing but could evolve into a much bigger thing. Electrification of cars is in full swing. Robots do more and more things by theselves (lawnmowers, vacuums, cars) because the "brain power" in the devices are pushed all the time, enabling more advanced sensors to be taken more advantage of.

Is so crazy to explain people I played games in an spectrum in 1987 back when many didn't knew what a "computer" was in my country cause like less than 10% of the people in my country. And now you put a helmet and you're inside the game!

Noone is expecting you to understand crypto, but I hear this about modern technology in general all the time and I just don't buy it. It's only brain-melting if you've spent your entire life being deeply incurious. There are 80-90 year olds who understand this shit just fine because they bothered to keep up.

Apparently I'm an elder.

The shifts in tech were easy.

It's the repeated economic punishment, school shootings, terrorist attacks, and political dive bomb this country has put us through that's been tough.

Nobody is expected to understand crypto. Same with the stock market and generally the economy. If it was simple and see thru you couldn’t run this many scams.

Crypto? Yes, I know what a pyrimid scheme is.

I understand that crypto is a scam that will rob millions of people of money they desperately need.

I understand crypto... and it is utter shit.

Fuck, I'm considered an ELDER now?

I got to be alive before mobile phones and social media.

Worth it!

I’m old enough to remember going to Hollywood video or blockbuster with my grandma on Fridays. Have a movie night. Those were some amazing memories.

To be fair, us elders had grifts and money laundering too, so crypto is nothing functionally new.
