"digital assets on a decentralised network"

Someone explain to me: How do the 'coin' nerds get away with calling the government-monopoly internet "decentralized"?

ponzi-ing a lot of money

What if there had been an 'internet' during the Dutch Tulip Craze?

Before 1633 Holland’s tulip trade had been restricted to professional growers and experts, but the steadily rising prices tempted many ordinary middle-class and poor families to speculate in the tulip market. Homes, estates, and industries were mortgaged so that bulbs could be bought for resale at higher prices. Sales and resales were made many times over without the bulbs ever leaving the ground, and rare varieties of bulbs sold for the equivalent of hundreds of dollars each.

The crash came early in 1637, when doubts arose as to whether prices would continue to increase. Almost overnight the price structure for tulips collapsed, sweeping away fortunes and leaving behind financial ruin for many ordinary Dutch families.

“But, like, I already don’t use paper money, so, like, I don’t care! Who wants to carry bills and change around when I can just touch my phone to the reader like boop!”

The conspiracy here is that you're moronic enough to use the language "NPC" as if it applies to the real world.

"But much computer programming language"

You can't program. You don't have the logic to type a sentence that a computer can interpret.
