No one says cash is a scam because the finance bros on wall street use it to scam people in far worse ways.
But for some reason it's functionally impossible to separate crypto from the scamers who use it.
Well, the crypto bros only seem to come up with scammy uses for crypto, whereas cash can be exchanged for goods and services.
there is a very small subset of cryptos that can be exchanged for real world goods and services too.
let me introduce you to my new invention: SuperDuperCoin!

Both things can be true: cash is a scam and so is crypto. The reason I despise crypto is because they just reinvented capitalism, when the old one was working just fine (in the sense that capitalism is not a broken system: it is functioning just as designed, benefiting the ruling class). So now we've got two ways they're scamming us.
Adobe and apple are the only ones who gets to scam me!
