Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.

Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts .. to process less than 7 transactions per second :

Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.

This could be joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dolllars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected them to the Internet.

This was a clue and we just didn't listen.

Let's go way back for this #WerewolfWednesday, to October 1990.

This was my first made-for-a-haunt werewolf, Snnanagfashtalli (Snarl to everybody), chasing patrons around in the queue line back in Forney.

Over the next couple of seasons he got more and more "gory-ed up" with fake resin-based blood - he was a messy eater - until he was finally retired in favor of Lugaru, my first NFT werewolf. I'll have to find & post some blood-covered photos (with CWs, natch).

Luke Dash, one core developers of Bitcoin just got all his Bitcoins stolen.

But let's pretend anyone can safely store their life savings in crypto.

kinda bullshit that cappuccinos have nothing to do with capybaras

Me: Let's listen to some music!

Neurotypical person: Ah yes I love that activity, where music plays softly in the background while we talk about unrelated matters

Me: No. I mean let's play music rather loudly, occasionally dancing, then pausing it to discuss the music and the musicians

NTP: 😠
