@muntedcrocodile @k4r4b3y The reason crypto in general is considered scammy is because BTC, ETH, and most others are simply not useful as currencies, due to LIMITATIONS OF DESIGN. Such as hardcoded blocksize, block transparency, and more.
Right from the beginning, people doubled down on their investments selling flimsy alternative theories than the simple design goal of “Internet cash”
AFAICT, only one serious project has had the engineering focus to make design changes as needed. XMR is money

Today I completed my daily driver transition to #LibreWolf ; this thread was the catalyst.
I love love LOVE the idea of a simply stripped-down, un-f–ked #FireFox
I love that it was able to use Sync and pull all my saved stuff directly from mozilla.
My only complaint is that LibreWolf demands to be pro-bono libre volunteers; they won’t shut up and take my money!
I still contribute monthly to FF; I pretend it’s to fund upstream development.
