...Dad? Haha I'm about to hit 40 and shitcoins are my brainy boomer dad's hobby.
Oh I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a hobby. I tend to believe it’s a method of market manipulation by a few big players and somehow used for money laundering (but that’s my own conspiracy theory 🤣). It’s WAY too volatile for me to “invest” in. I pretty much meant from the techy side like I understand how blockchain works. Like the difference between PoW,PoS,PoA,DPoS… and the math (cryptography,hashing, etc) behind the whole process. I mean I’ve used it before to buy things when I wanted more anonymity (well maybe more obfuscation but now but that’s not even really possible).
And I really didn’t take offense at the whole original statement. I just thought the arbitrary “1990” cut off for elder was just comical. I mean someone born around 1990 is 35/36 and that’s an elder?? Really?? I might have put that number at closer to 1965-1970. There is no way, even when I was in my teens and 20s would I have called a 35 yo an “elder”. That’s just ludicrous.
And I’m a computer nerd and have been since I was single digits. So I understand this kinda stuff way better than my kids.
