i think this is weird, but like it really shouldn’t be weird to me.
like, im not into crypto, right, but like i’m sorta adjacent bc i see some of the stuff pop up in my twitter.
and like, sometimes it’s like these super-spiffy lookin vcs talkin abt how crypto will like revolutionize pinball machines or smthn the heck and other times it’s like some technocratic essay on the future of humanity or smthn (link egghead). (both of which are cringe btw; no hate just what i feel in my gut).
but then
i discovered. REAL CRYPTO
and it’s anime pfp anons
i love it.
like, idk WHO these ppl are but im here for it. like, look at this technical looking essay:
from a site called femboy.capital like holeee these my ppl man
i mean, i’m not smart enough rn but like one day… one day, i’ll be technical enough to have the kahoonas to be anime pfp twitter anon building the future fof technology.
and like, this was weird ot me, but i reiterate it litearlly SHOULD NOT be surprising. like, tech is a nerd thing. nerds do it. nerds like anime. anime is tech. tech is anime. steins; gate. but also idk.
it seems to be a crypto thing mainly but i hope its a continuing trend and becomes the new shibboleth for techanons. (btw is it obvious i just discovered 4chan??)
EDIT: can’t believe i forgot to include this, but check out this 4chan user proving a permutations problem that mathematicians couldn’t solve for years: link.
waiting for the day posing as a nerd / anime twitter anon bcomes the new “mba / biz exec” trend / simulacrum in pursuit and suddenly high profiel tech ceos have your name pfps out of the blue. would be a day fr.
anyways, reminder that the coolest stuff happens at the edges, in 2004 and now:
