Not a surprise, the good old days for each person is pretty much always when they had the most autonomy and the least responsibility.

Can I assume you were a teenager/early 20s in the 90s?

Exactly. In the UK version he was not an angry, shouty cunt. That was added for the US show.

It's as if people think The Rock was actually the heel he played in WWE or Anthony Hopkins is actually a cannibal who kills and eats people.

It can never be a currency as the values fluctuate so wildly it is useless as one.

you seem to think about cryptocurrencies like gold as well; an investment.

because that is what it actually is used for.

My question was about the future of them as a normal currency

That is dead and burred.

The one thing a currency needs is a relatively stable value, otherwise it is useless as a medium of exchange...ie: money.

While crypto is as stable as that bear that ate a couple of kg of cocaine.

I think of it as a ponzi scheme because that us what it has become.

They will continue to be a ponzi scam that hopeful idiots will keep losing money on.

What are you posting that you are worried about?

Honestly. You are just not that interesting. Neither am I.

You have hundreds of comments here and I can read them all.

But I didn't bother. You are not that interesting. (nor are the vast majority of humanity, so I am not singling you out here.)

If you don't want people reading your posts and comments. Do not post or comment.

I'm not saying anything goes either but if people around you use less and fewer interchangeably, there is no communication breakdown at all.

Do you know the correct times to use practice vs practise?

People thinking the English language is static and has to follow rules.

This Is English, my friend. The top dog of non-proscriptive languages where meanings change over time and reflect current usage.

Want to force everyone to follow the rules?

Start speaking French.

One of Japan's largest tech companies just launched its own cloud storage service

Nah, that will come 3 months later when to keep providing a world class service they will have to discontinue the free accounts.

But don't worry, they will give existing customers great upgrade deals.
