Agenda

Don't get me wrong, I am hugely fascinated by cryptography and computational complexity theory. Seemingly every second of our existence relies on some kind of mathematical trapdoor, where the effort required to scale our fortress is so offputting the baddies won't even try.
Disclaimer: the good baddies don't mind of course, and menacingly shmoose the constuction workers into building a backdoor beforehand, all under the loving eye of a benevolent teddy bear ruler who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for giving an offshore BDSM facility for brown people the cute name 'Gitmo'. Slightly confused by the designation, staff neither fed the residents after midnight, nor before.

Actually performing calculations in order to secure a system with global and revolutionary ambitions, pure and elegant as it may be, cannot possibly be the way forward in times of looming resource scarcity and a general supposedly sustainable zeitgeist. Emissions (pronounced /ˈkɑɹ.bən ˈkɹɛdɪts/) are best saved up for proxy wars, rebuilding and whatever happens when water runs out in regions we care about. The scale crypto mining has come to truly shocked me, consuming almost the same amount of power as all data centers worldwide in 2021. (ca. 1% of global electricity demand each, plus 1.25% for data transmission networks, really interesting and hardly ever a topic) I decided to investigate further and started visualising the difference between the two approaches (mining, staking) and showcase promising established blockchains.

For something meant as a revolutionary tool, the broader audience needs more access, options and literacy than investing into, and holding, the base currency/token meant to interact with an entire ecosystem! That is, provided they even find sensible use cases, caring enough to slash through countless blatant opportunistic posts on the usual channels; PFPs will liberate Gaza, Who's suppressing CoinX (oh my, don't they all move in the same direction anyways nowadays?), MOST INNOVATIVE PROJECT IN THIS SPACE!!! (for running an access-restricted Discord server off a token no less... not even a CS 1.6 server, which would be the only right way of interacting wif 4ll ur FRENS).
Seemingly, this happens when loud people on pop real estate run with things. Don't be shy now lads, don that Adidas-but-its-a-weed-leaf sweater and beanie you bought just off of main station in {insert tourist city which is also a timezone you have to manually select in MS Outlook because it doesn't sync well}.
But we mustn't succumb to 'this is why we can't have nice things' at first sight. I hate people that feed wild animals. Or litter. I fucking hate everything being reduced to services, abstracted away like its a nuisance, not a part of the real world you'd entertain. I need feeding. It rained, I want my money back. I'll show you my asshole on a clean material design streaming app, but I'm too anxious to tell the waiter they forgot to bring my fries. (not my quote but God (she/her) it's good)
I'm a hypocrite. I litter. Not intentionally but by having a base tier low effort subscription to modern life, even though I desire better. I look at buttholes. Not on streams though, I don't like starwarsgamergirl420.
