Goddamn I'm not that elder! But also true

1990 time for Guru

Crypto? Yes, I know what a pyrimid scheme is.

i remember standing in line for dvds. we were hacking regionlocked discs before nft was just a scammer's wet dream. we were moulded by early modern technology.

Who is expecting them to understand cryptography?

1. Fuck you
2. Who the fuck do you think you are?
3. crypto is a fucking scam

So people who 35years old are elder now.

Fuck, I'm considered an ELDER now?

To be fair, us elders had grifts and money laundering too, so crypto is nothing functionally new.

The shift was 9/11 happening and everything that happened after.

Before 1990?… fuck you.. I have kids born before 1990… elder my ass … I probably understand crypto better than you do…

I’m not bitter. Not at all.

I got to be alive before mobile phones and social media.

Worth it!

I remember when you had to fill out a contract and leave a deposit to rent a VCR. You also had to make an appointment because the video store only had 2 or 3 machines. The whole neighborhood would come over and everyone would watch together.

SMH. Dear boy. We elders were taking it to the streets in the 60’s and 70’s—in huge numbers. We organized without social media, were willing to face danger and arrest, and got shit done. We were using DOS before you were probably even born (do you know what that is?). While many of us are, in fact, fading, there are legions of us with knowledge and experience you will never understand until YOU are an elder.

I understand that crypto is a scam that will rob millions of people of money they desperately need.

I feel like its an advantage to know the analog way to do things in addition to the current norms. For example, navigating by paper map and direction of the sun, like some kind of land pirate.

Crypto is an EMP away from being worthless

FUCK YOU! I understand crypto and STILL have a VHS tape I never returned. pfft. arrogant youth. now where do i push to send this to reddit?

Listen here you little shit: you think you’re superior because you rebranded Ponzi schemes with AI merde?

I was born in 1983 and I’m old enough to remember having only 5 tv channels, vcr’s, and you couldn’t get on the internet if your mom was in the phone.

As an elder millennial, I respect gen z and alpha for coping with modern society. It may just be a fond remembrance, but things seemed much simpler then. Creative jobs weren't threatened by AI, the tech didn't exist for corporations to spy on people, the US.. well let's not get into that.

I at least got to experience a decent time in history and built up enough context where I understand what is going on in the world today. That of course leads to irreconcilable sadness with where things are going, but at least I got to experience a wild culture shift.
