You can't fake this kind of willful stupidity.

Were they robbed? I bet they were. Say what you will about cash, but some hacker isn’t taking paper bills from across the planet via some technical exploit *way* over my head. With Etherium, the only thing protecting your money from the entire internet is *you*, and your understanding of complicated intricacies... And when lost, no one is coming to help you. They *might* get my credit card, yeah. But that’s either my own dumb fault, or a very rich bank’s problem. *** …It’s great for scammers, though. Crypto’s like a wet dream for them. And I find it remarkable the crypto community sees that as a feature, not a bug, and somehow thinks the whole world must see it that way.

I get why people say cryptocurrencys are a scam, but the whole proof of stake shit makes lot more sense if someone were trying to protect all of society from say mass inflation in places like Venezuela or something. The revolutionary w.e he was talking about had to be proof of stake, making it use 99.9% less power than things like Bitcoin. The alternative choice was always the same, control by the U.S. or China. Really not many other options. If people cared about the environment they wouldn't use Bitcoin, if they cared about people, they wouldnt use the U.S. dollar and such. Every country in the world supports the U.S in doing so... We need better alternatives, etherium may not be it.. but surely there has to be a better way to keep people from suddenly plunging into poverty when they don't have control of their government.

I don't think Etherium ever really had a major drop like in losing almost all of its value? It's been pretty stable IMO and slowly gaining value.
