It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I've been told, many a time, that Ethereum is "one of the good" cryptocurrencies.
I've known about "gas fees" for years and how the rent-seeking is built right in.
The most euphoric of cryptocultists even told me that maybe the Ethereum blockchain would "form a neural net" over time and become sapient, or even start The Singularity(tm).
  
These are not well informed or critically thinking people.
Get out of here with your reason skeptic.
The crypto Messiah is nigh! It gestates in a web of a thousand thousand blockchains, and feeds upon the broken dreams and lost hopes of crypto bros.
Yea shall it deliver us from centralised currency or something! Gaze upon it and weep for your salvation.
I know you're joking, but judging by what  named one of his many IVF children (Techno Mechanicus), he like many cryptobros missed the point of the (originally intended, at least) satire of 40k.
is Ethereum dead yet? because i know a horrible abusive person who had all their money in etheruim 2 years ago and im rooting for his downfall.
It isn't just not dead; it's the basis of many secondary grifts, such as NFTs. NFTs were minted from the start using ETH and charging "gas" each and every time while burning the planet down a little faster.
bleh awful! thank you for the update tho.
It's down 30-70% from 2 years ago fwiw depending on when they bought. One Ether is worth about 1500 USD right now but there were spikes in 2021 to like 3-4 grand.
 die shitcoin die!
