I have something to say to those who said to us, when we told you that cryptocurrency was a tulip mania style bubble built on bluster, bullshit and suckers, that we didn’t understand and were just bitter about missing out. It is as follows:

in reply to Sarah Brown • • •Interesting commentary recently by Patrick Boyle mentioning a lot of people are linking this "era of scam" (crypto, AI, drop-shipping, passive income, etc) to moral hazard effects of the 2008 bailouts.
