Am so happy of living in a small town of a country where every tech fad gets late cuz only now my town friends are talking about crypto and I can say “it’s fucking crashing, millions of people are losing money in that scam, it’s not even worth as long-time inflation-defeating saving”

South Africa is kinda like this, but also different. Like if you’re rich and have internet access you can jump on all the latest American and European trends, for better or worse.

When the “two slurp juices for one Ape” thing started trending on SA twitter I knew it was over lol.

Ah of course, I know argie crypto dipshits since 2013 but they were the rich kids who knew enough english and computers. Later, a dipshit in my own fucking town had a mining rig for some fucking reason, according to my town friends who follow each other’s instagrams. So hey, maybe I’ll buy a cheap graphic card from him. I only need the rest of the desktop computer now.

The rich dipshits setting up mining rigs is just :chefs-kiss:

Apparently according to someone I know, one of them got kicked out of university accomodation here for hiding a mining rig in their dorm and shooting the electricity bill though the roof lol.
