That is funny I was using a commodore 64 and a Tandy WP-3 back in the day for writing reports. When the first computers came out for the workplace my office manager was the only one who had one, an IBM, and no I am not an apple fan either.  We were using floppy disks back the for our programs, and saving reports after they had been printed.

This may be crypto (in its current form) soon enough.    It's been a great ride for 8-9 years but being conservative with one's gains feels pretty good when you take tech history into consideration.   Cutting edge graphics from Atari 2600s Combat.  You're in the green tank.   Grand Pap is in the blue one.  It's a rental.  ????

What makes you think they're fake?

 

I've asked people this in the past and some of the things that come back are very funny, will be interesting to hear your take on this old argument...

their public audit shows that only 3% or 5% of Tethers are backed by fiat dollars and 97% are "backed" by debentures and other cryptocurrencies (which price is - surprise! - pumped by Tethers).

USD are kind of fake as well, and our bodies are temporary.    I plan to continue to be comfortable working within those parameters.
