Good thing what they say doesn't matter, since goal is to tie up the lines.

Meowmeowbeans social pressure where people will refuse to meet or associate with people who have not been vetted and verified by meowmeowbeans members. So people who want to meet meowmeowbeans users would have to join to get screened otherwise they can get lost.

Solves the issue of people who never signed up to the social media site having strangers uploading personal photos, videos, names, and stories to a profile page they never consented to. Which is reminiscent of doxing in its current state.

So meowmeowbeans certification among consenting members would be the better route to go and socially making those not in meowmeowbeans outcasts. At least there is choice now for people to not be part of the community driven database of people.

It cool to know there is a term for currency people don't want to spend. That was a fun read.

How is an even more niche process that involves having to go to an exchange to buy crypto then safe guard it and it being a taxable event when buying goods with it in some countries a solution?

People are wanting a mainstream alternative that the companies that they buy from use, and if the companies don't care to use it then it doesn't matter for the average person.

Even people actually into crypto are less interested in spending it because it exposes their balance if they aren't using coin mixers or monero which can make them a target. Not to mention most just see it as stock they hope goes to the moon as opposed to going through the cumbersome process of buying for the purpose of spending it like a depreciating asset.

Yeah like improved cpu, GPU, and screen is expected so not even noteworthy. But everything else has felt like a regression in features.

I hold my screen facing me so my hands are already resting on the back.

OnePlus 7 pro. Zenfone 8 Flip.

Yeah instead of foldables I'd rather have a keyboard. Or gamepad like the old Sony gaming phones.

And just like that I lost interest. Dante is Zuko and will always be Zuko to me.

After a few cycles people start to realize blah blah blah explanation is really just when is the price going up. We've all heard it all by now. It starts feeling like being sold on a timeshare. We aren't new clients to try to sell this topic too

We already know all the explaination and blockchain crap. We know the spiel and sat through it all through multiple cycles. It's at this point like trying to sell a car to a car salesperson using tactics they already know.

So that's the lack of enthusiasm. We are less likely to be new to this.

They can even get math wrong. Which surprised me. Had to tell it the answer is wrong for them to recalculate and then get the correct answer. It was simple percentages of a list of numbers I had asked.

Which is funny because many crypto people don't spend it like currency because to them it is another asset they hope rises in value like stocks to get rich like the early bitcoin holders. And it's why many if they spend it go and rebuy the same amount to not get spenders remorse in the future spending what could have been a house on a video game.

Now I know the decentralized value of crypto and the tech is cool. Just more sick of the overall greedy culture around it of people wanting to get rich quick off it, but masquerading around as though they actually care about the tech or are anti-capitalist. When it really is just about trying to get rich.
