       @icedquinn this observation alone deserves to pop the bubble IMO

       @PeaceandProsperity no GLPs!No shade on those who do use it but I was always skeptical they would help people who's eating is driven by emotional reasons rather than just bunger.

       I wonder what happens when the people are priced out of "bread and circuses" 🤔

       @Inginsub we just need to invest in cheap sdcard technology to keep the station wagon internet alive.

       To be fair, I can understand the confusion with the way things are run.

       @georgia Have you tried FreeTube? I wouldn't say it's better than NewPipe but you can import/export back and forth. @Saorsa @scathach

       BTC broke below 60K USD.This is literally the end of cryptocurrency forever. It was fun while it lasted I guess 🤷

       Sarcasm aside I wish I had a link to it or could quote it but a while back I posted when it was hovering ~100K that this was probably the last "hype cycle".If you're just in it for the VC funding, AI has already eaten your lunch. If you're in it for the technology you've probably moved on to more interesting things. Who is a diehard BTC fan in 2026? Are we down to Saylor and his cult members?

       @silverpill Grey/black markets, tax evasion, sanction evasion - none of this is going to disappear.Isn't Monero (and other mechanisms) objectively better for all those things though?  But that's somewhat part of my calculus there. I think Bitcoin's cycles were entirely driven in a top-down way and that the entire financial side of the space was manipulated. I assume it began for political reasons and will end for political reasons as well.For example some people believe cryptocurrency as a whole was a psyop to distract people from owning PMs and/or normalize digital currenecy. I don't fully buy into either thesis but don't fully dismiss them either.What little I do understand leads me to believe that whatever the machinations are, they're much more convoluted than just "Bitcoin was made for X"
