Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but...

Is the speculative investment scam, which crypto substantially represented, finally dead? Can we go back to buying gold bars and Pokemon cards?

I feel like it is, but I'm having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen. Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM "prompts?" Maybe the rug just got pulled enough times that everyone lost trust.

You probably saw some (mostly fraudulent) ads. Dread is where most of Tor's public content can be found; but, yeah, crypto (specifically Bitcoin and Monero) are the standards there.

And this place isn't going away any time soon. Also, is it Dread or Dredd because I always thought it's the latter?
