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?
Lol. If they’re comparing Crypto and Lemmy and getting mad, that’s probably just one way of how they got sold on crypto by whatever community they’re in. Just ask anyone who uses crypto a simple question: If I pay for a good or service, and I am not given that good/service, what should I do? Having a decentralized money exchange is great (and much needed), as a supplement to a centralized one. Something like Lemmy on the other hand has nothing to do with trading value, it’s moreso contribution for the sake of adding value into a shared system. I’m not going to try and find retribution for someone not answering a question I post, because I didn’t pay anyone to answer it.
