In the past I’ve countered “bitcoin uses more energy than Nigeria” opening gambits with “whatabout all the physical bank branches with AC and people and ATMs?” but it’s a lose-lose type whataboutism detpfest argument to have.

Perfect drunken afterparty coda to the saga... my $200 donation to the thing got me 42k $PEOPLE a few weeks ago, and because I was lazy about claiming my refund, this morning I found myself holding 42k worth of the latest, greatest memecoin, worth about $3200 🙄

I just sold about 8000 to bank about a 2x return, net of tx fees, and am gonna sit on the rest to see where it goes. Unless someone does something more interesting with it than simply pump it as a memecoin, plan is to dump all but 42 tokens somewhere along the way.

Much as I like experimenting, I've never liked the pure memecoin end of this stuff, and never bought any doge or other obviously meme-ish thing with no interesting tech angle behind it. I think there is room for complex non-tech social stuff to happen, but pure memeing ain't it.

Since I started this casual experimentation on Nov 7, I think I've made enough money off the things I've been doing on this thread that it's now the 3rd highest earning gig of 2021 for me. Only my largest consulting project and my Substack have made more $.

This is more than mildly worrying. Even after factoring out frontier serendipity, random relatively clueless 101 experimental trial and error should not have such ridiculous returns on effort/time.
