Good to know, thanks.

Would be great if they got some of that out there.

It's a pretty old cryptocoin: initally released back in 2015, and a significant change deployed in 2022. It was then when they changed from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, which basically means that they don't use mining anymore to keep the network running. They use like 1% of energy compared to PoW coins.

Also they have some smart contract capabilities which I suppose Ethereum people think are important. But I've never seen any practical use for that stuff.

Still, I think Eth is one of the cryptos that actually tries to be useful and efficient in some way and not just a stupid pump and dump scheme. Turns out, nobody gives a fuck about that, perhaps?

General rule for posting stock prices: sometimes things are obvious when you zoom out a bit.

In this particular case, Reddit stock price is still up several percentage points from the Trump rally that affected just about every tech stock after 2024-10-30 about. Same applies to other stocks like Tesla.

So at this point it's nothing more than a return to normal. No need to attribute anything more to it. But sure, if this descends keeps going for some time more, it'll be different.

Check out Revolt. They're trying to mimic Discord.

Discord sucks but this might be easy money if you join at the very start.

I don't personally understand why people want to use it, but if you're one of those people, https://revolt.chat/ might be a great alternative. They're open source (at least for now).

I don't think it's complicated. People are in fairly small cliques, and social contagion is real. In the relatively happy case it turns you into a woman or something, in the worst case it turns you into a planet-destroying asshole.

Yeah, Kia EV6 is on my list, but I haven't gotten around to test driving it yet. EV9 seems way too big for our needs.

Yeah that's the number one reason I'm looking at other cars right now. So you could say I have some feelings about that.

THEYRE NOT GOOD
