Just got very lightly flamed by another user for making fun of crypto and was told that Lemmy and crypto have “the exact same advantages and disadvantages”. Now I disagree heavily there, since even if it shares some principles I’d argue that the scale of the problems change when you’re talking about a global finance system versus a social media platform filled with beans. But it did get me curious- how many of you are crypto supporters?

    The technology has potential but right now it’s mainly being used either to buy illicit goods or separate fools from money.

    Lemmy is free to use. If you give money to an instance owner, at least you know it’s a donation and that you’ll never get it back.
