Turns out the reason crypto was invented isn't "decentralization" at all, it was nerds feeling left out and wanting their own financial instrument grift.

You mean the smart nerds

For the less economical-savvy ones it was like Beanie Babies or Tulips (with predictable consequences)

  • I still buy tulips, just not at boom market prices.

    The predictable outcome is that the deers get to them, but I got to see a few go into full bloom last year and it was wonderful.
