So who is behind the COVID 'religion' when those who imposed the rules (because they were forced to by circumstances) are most desperate to get back to how things were (regardless of the cost). Was there collusion between regimes that don't like each other? Yes, I know there are anomalies, but most politicians at least don't seem up to organising anything this big. It is tempting to see conspiracies where there are none and people get a kick out of being 'in the know'. I was debating with a flat-earther around here, but he went quiet when he realised I actually understand how shit works.

The Bitcoin thing is more about self-interest. People will talk it up in hope of massive profits even if they have plenty to live on anyway. The small players tend to get exploited by those who can control the price. Greed is a powerful force.

I don't think Bitcoin is the answer to many problems really. As a cryptocurrency it is lacking in a few ways, but it has the advantage of being early and big. I do think crypto in general offers possibilities for lots of people to get out of poverty, but a lot of the winners will be those who were rich anyway.

Anyway, I'm off for my second jab very shortly :)
