So you want a cyber truck but you have Elon Derangement syndrome?

Spoken like someone who doesn’t know the first thing about NFTs

Without fail every crypto article brings out the cranks of hacker news who sound like luddites/flat earthers

New comment by prestigious in "Japan needs a lot more tech workers. Can it find a place for women?"

I think women in general are less interested in tech. Actually the most oppressive cultures have highest number of women in tech

You own your BAYC for instance. Man it's like talking to my grandma in here.

No reason all concert tickets aren't NFTs in the future.

You mean it’s an investment of 150k that will likely be worth 1M by the end of the year, AND makes them seem hip.

Should check out the currency by Damien hirst. He made a “real” piece of art and a correspondent nft. One of which has to be destroyed at a certain time. I believe most will destroy the physical version. https://www.heni.com/

Shocking to see how out of touch hacker news is with crypto. I guess not much has changed since coinbase was launched on HN and faced a bunch of naysayers then also.

Feels like switching to crypto payments would be far more likely to keep the site alive than whatever it is they are planning on doing.

Nobody wants to hear it. Everybody wants to believe Trump was the “worst president ever” but this one event is worse than anything trump did or had happen during his administration.

That's funny, I keep hearing from largely feminists that "alpha's don't exist in nature, it's a myth"

They didn’t iterate fast enough. Nothing to do while listening, at least now you can dm but it needed chat a long time ago.

Don’t lie is very difficult to determine though. The vast majority of things are unknown or unknowable. Did Epstein kill himself? No one knows.

Twitter is like this also. I want to reduce my Twitter usage so I delete the app and sometimes I just want to see what Elon or somebody like that has been up to. Can I go use their website without logging in? Hell no I can’t. Just sucks

I hear you on the marriage piece. My wife was brutally unsupportive during my burnout and I’m just waiting for my kids to be grown up before I leave.

I don’t understand the analogy you are trying to make.

Generational wealth is way overstated. Steve jobs didn’t have generational wealth. Airbnb was funded by selling obama branded cereal.
