    MKR is an experimental US government alt coin used to study the effects of crypto on bro-brains.

    What happens when laser eyes find out crypto isn’t actually a hedge against inflation or a store of value

    i've never really heard a great reasoning behind almost any of the DeFi stuff that makes it better than just FinTech except it is better at dodging regulatory mechanisms which will evaporate eventually

    again, your default reflex is to yell PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU MOUTH IS just because people are laughing at crypto bros. You are just confirming what everyone already knows: cryptobros are easily worked up, way too invested in the success of BTC, and have difficulty functioning like a normal human being.

    Some cryptobros think there’s is a connection with fintech, defi and even NFTs linked to both. That’s my “thesis” because my background is in change management and payment integrations.

    You guys lose me with the facism, libertarian, or political talk with crypto. Just like I lose everyone when talking about NFTs when 99% of the use cases atm are a fn pfp

    Again, your default reaction is to say everything is a shitcoin and going to zero, everyone knows schadenfreude is strong with non crypto bros who were too smart for a generational bull run and cope by hoping those who made money get wrecked bc that’s what normal healthy adults do.

    I know this is the crypto thread for bros to partake in such activity, but maybe we should avoid doing just that since someone just told you they stopped gambling!

    if it makes you feel better, i genuinely do not care if you or other individuals make or lose money. no envy here on the gains because you all are assuming the risk.

    i simply take joy in the entire conceit failing. what can i say --- i like forests.

    Value accrues indirectly to token holders via token buybacks/burn. It’s been consistently profitable through all market conditions, generating revenue via interest on loans, liquidation revenues/fees, and stablecoin trading fees.

    The amount of people who agree with you on crypto is basically the barometer for if you’re right or wrong. You have to dupe the idiots to be right.

    Bro you started a separate thread and went off the deep end because I tagged you and user about real use cases on NFTs besides speculation

    those same NFTs are holding my ass if we’re concerned about today’s value and “utility”

    this whole thread is a shit show and a lot of fun atm. Half the negative shit posted is exaggerated… still funny
