    I’m talking specifically in the context of types of cryptocurrencies most cryptoheads are fans of. These don’t apply to things like China’s Digital Yuan.

    In no particular order:

    • Horrible for the environment.

    • Is partly responsible for the ongoing hardware shortage and scalping epidemic.

    • The epitome of capitalism: Playground for investors, essentially giant virtual casinos. Most cryptobros seem to be fixated exclusively on the idea of making quick money without having to do any actual work.

    • Riddled with outright scams.

    • Unregulated, extremely unstable, and therefore almost useless for real financial transactions.
