Fibre is just the medium of transmission, the ISPs can throttle it however they want.

Lmao this one is actually pretty funny, like I imagined you staring at it in your wardrobe like 'nah, I probably shouldn't'

Exactly.

All the people defending NFTs are ignoring the problem that they are still a very inefficient way to handle the proposed usecases.

Not emitting is not that easy. We are in a transition period at the moment. Electric vehicles are here but we don't have all the infrastructure needed to support them. Let alone the fact that battery tech is not developing as fast as we need it to.

Right now liquid fuels still have the advantage of greater energy density. If we could move to hydrogen fuels that would be cool, and we could repurpose existing petroleum facilities.

But who knows which way the tech is going to go. The only sure thing is that we are in for a wild ride one way or the other.

The name for a system where you get people to buy valueless assets and drive up their price so you can sell yours and leave others holding the bag is: "Ponzi scheme."

No, that's a Greater Fool scheme. A Ponzi is more centralized and the people who get paid out are not supposed to be aware that the money is coming from new investors. Ponzi schemes hide that aspect of it. In a Greater Fool you are betting on someone being dumber than yourself enough to buy your worthless investment at a higher price.

A lot of crypto is Greater Fool, but there have been crypto Ponzi schemes.

As a side note, there is a cultural tendency to call all scams Ponzis when they are not. It is a specific type of scam.
