But we'll get to see some crazy shit in the next few years.

This being 2022... Just kinda hits different, yo...

Just Hits Different.

You might need to explain yourself.

We get all kinds of bullshit ways that people strive to make money and scam others through techologies that have become more possible after bitcoin because bitcoin (and then the various copy cat improvements upon bitcoin) have facilitated more ways to transfer digital value - and sometimes centralized and other times creating impressions of decentralization - and sure it was not ONLY bitcoin that made this more possible, because there were other kinds of quasi-centralized game tokens prior to bitcoin, too... but seems that some of the scamming and ponzi schemes became more possible in recent times, and surely a lot of creativity contained therein - so even if the exact mechanisms to scheme people out of money are not the same... they frequently will take features from previous schemes or even building confidence that this or that project is legit (or the next new sliced bread or whatever)...

So, maybe you need to explain why you believe there might be some kind of meaningful difference that causes matters to play out differently - in terms of various crazes that get way more hype than they deserve... but also might facilitate a certain number of scammers to get richie through those smoke and mirrors deceptive products that are likely to come into being.. and maybe through a kind of "meta" marketing angle.

I was just saying, after 2020, 2021, and thus far in 2020too... the phrase "we'll get to see some crazy shit" is a completely different statement than it was in say... 2019? No?

Huh.

At least you mustered up enough self-constraint to flesh out the idea a wee bit moar better... which some sense is being made in your explanation.. and yeah, I took the matter in a somewhat different direction.. at least in terms of trying to stick with the angle that Phil_S had mentioned initially..

I mean fake insurrection, Covid, lockdowns, "transitory" inflation, and simulated WW111???
Please, let's go back to boredom! NO MORE CRAZY SHIT!

Well.. that's fair... we have had a lot of that summed up as "clown world" and for sure there are some crazy things going on in recent times, and we have been witnessing that the population is willing to put up with a whole hell of a lot of crazy explanations and even to follow along with a lot of the descriptions of what is going on.

Surely, some of us recognize some angles of desperation - and even some of the smarter of the assessments have difficulties explaining some of the crazy shit... and I have found sometimes I agree with the descriptions/analysis, but I don't necessarily agree with some of the proposed solutions - even though many of us in bitcoinlandia might consider bitcoin as some kind of a hedge but bitcoin cannot resolve all of these various seemingly pieces of evidence of desperation.. I mean that shit hits the fan in varying ways and in different regions, and some of us might be rich as fuck in terms of bitcoin, but it would not necessarily resolve matters if we cannot walk out into the street and if people are suffering around us or if various government (or even private) actors end up targeting us...

I had heard this news program the other day in which there was a claim that an unusual number of Russian oligarchs were suiciding themselves, but then a suspicion that maybe the Russian government was doing it, and even if it were not the Russian government but instead some kind of a false flag, if any of us were to happen to believe that we were safe because we were living in a $30 million mansion and then pretty soon we are set up with self-suicide, and we end up dead either way... so our bitcoin might not end up helping us if we become some kind of a target.

Also, for sure when I go to the stores, I like to see food available.. and not just mediocre food.. I want good food, and maybe I do not even want to make it myself, either... and I also want to be able to go places and enjoy myself, and if I am not allowed to go places, then it can be difficult to enjoy life, even with a lot of bitcoin.. and then might it be too complicated to try to get a private plane (enough bitcoin for that? maybe not?). I guess I am just saying that we likely need some level of infrastructure and systems NOT to go to hell in order to be able to enjoy some (if not all) of our bitcoins... even if we ONLY have 0.21 or so of them.
