I'd debate that. You have to have at least one shared trait amongst the group. What else if not rebellion? Rebellion can manifest in many different ways as well.
I'm the smug one? I get along just fine with my parents despite many differences. You're the one acting like a petulant child when people don't agree with you.
I do too, its just not changing the world. I don't have issues with motion sickness but it is a bit of a chore to wear a quest 2 for more than an hour or so. Still theres a bunch of great games and experiences on there.
Yeah turns out people don't like wearing things on their head that are heavy, and quite a lot who don't mind will get motion sickness anyways. Its an interesting creative tool, similar to a 3d printer in my opinion. Oh also beat saber is pretty great but thats like a single game.
Why do you think freedom and decentralization is always good? I don't think bitcoin improves lives and the majority of people view it as gambling rather than currency. Sometimes its useful to get around local regulations or to pay slightly less in fees that would normally go to a bank. Its just a different western union money transfer and yet people on here are talking about it like it represents freedom and the individual spirit or some nonsense. Its main use is to scam people out of money. Its secondary use is to facilitate purchase of illegal goods. A very small fraction of the whole is people using it as an actual currency.
I'll put it this way, a small fraction of responsible heroin users does not make heroin as a whole a good thing.
Fees are predictable. Volatility is not. If you can't make sure the money you are paid retains its value then the price you are selling something for is also volatile rather than inert.
I think they didnt say part of their reasoning. Crypto is useful to buy things that are either illegal or not socially acceptable/available in your local area.
The purpose of a system is what it does. Crypto is used to bypass regulations, generally for illegal or immoral things. Its also been used as a ponzi scheme over and over, I guess we call them rug pulls now but its the same bullshit.
Crypto is for gamblers or drug addicts, generally. Sometimes they are both. Sort of reminds me of the mortgage crisis in 2008 with people saying it wasnt the system just people abusing it. The system was built and modified to enable abuse.
The metaverse is for creating, not really for visiting. If you are an artist, creating worlds in 3d in VR might be interesting to you. I wouldnt look at it as a way to make money, more of a hobby tool.
So what's the positive uses of crypto then? You listed many things that are immensel useful like the wheel, fire, electricity, etc. Do you think crypto fits in that category?
We gave my stepmother-in-law a wine glass that could fit an entire bottle of wine in it, and said "its cause you like wine so much!". She took it really well.
Just to be clear, your position is that your parents deserve to be bullied because they want healthier foods in schools? If RFK Jr does improve food in schools, will you apologize to them? You also do see a difference between the methods Michelle Obama used and those RFK Jr are using now, right?
You shouldnt take your anger out on your parents, IMO.
