I had once heard described that fahrenheit’s best feature is that you can go “oh, 1-100, ‘sheesh, that’s really cold!’ to ‘hoof, that’s pretty hot!’” and yeah, while I was in the US where most temperatures (RIP Florida) change all the time, that sure was convenient.
However, living in a country that always stays in the 80-100 range, the ‘oh fuck, the water’s freezing’ to 'oh fuck, the heat death of the sun is upon us’ range is a MUCH more useful scale to knowing if we’ve been struck by some sort of apocalyptic event today
Well, are MLMs dead? Audible book spamming? The nigerian prince scam? Hell, mail scams are still running to this day.
As long as there’s a hook, I doubt cryptomoney scams are going to be leaving any time soon. It is rare we’ll see scams of the same magnitude as before, but they’ll always be around in those sorts of communities. Just a matter of principle, whenever money’s involved.
You could probably go back to buying pokemon cards, though. The fact that crypto’s greatest investors have a vested interest in not having their cash vanish into thin air, it’s best used for it’s purpose-- as currency-- unless another FTX fumbles the bag.
