A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It’s backed by math.

No, it's backed by the power grid. Shut off the power, and you have nothing.

Also trying to create scarcity in a realm where none actually exists shows how greedy and scammy it is.

It's worse than any other fiat currency. There's literally nothing behind it.
