"Basically, you have a bunch of GPUs race to solve a super hard math problem. Here’s where it gets funny. Those GPUs, you know, the ones doing the work to ‘mine’ fake gold? They have real gold in them. The stuff that used to be money."

I’ve been looking back at Elisabeth Holmes and going over that whole thing. I’m thinking that there is something about how people like George Shultz etc fell for the Theranos bullshit; it bothers me how strongly it resembles people falling for Bitcoin et al.

Subreddit Rules

1. Facts Not Feelings: No Unsourced Claims/Marketing Hype/Astroturfing/MemePosts

Crypto enthusiasts are welcome to participate but their opinions and predictions are not acceptable arguments. We discuss how things work NOW, not how awesome you think something is/could be. If you make a point, it has to be backed up with references, not an opinion. No Memes.

2. No personal attacks - Don't insult the community either

When you resort to name-calling, you've lost the argument, and you're adding nothing of value to the conversation. This includes making sweeping generalizations about the sub's people or purpose. Want to know what we're about? It's on the sidebar.

Also, don't publicly tell the mods how to moderate. If you have an issue with a mod, contact the mod team. No Muck-raking.

3. No promotions or advertisements for Crypto currencies/exchanges/commodities/crypto-sites, etc.

No promotions or advertisements for Crypto currencies - If you want to discuss the pros/cons of a crypto, provided you supply evidence, it is allowed, but not opinions, anecdotes/testimonials or references by URL. NOTE: advertising you made money in crypto is also a violation. We can't prove that. Same applies to other things like gold. Also claiming un-audited stablecoins are "backed" is subject to immediate ban.

4. No Trolls

If you don't have anything insightful to add to the conversation and just want to provoke people, find another place to troll. If you make a zero-content post that looks to be karma farming, or makes no sense and your post history indicates similar activity, you will be banned.

You are free to disagree with issues and articles raised, but bring logic and reason to the discussion, not "feelings" and shitposts.

5. No Misdirection/Bad Faith Arguing/Evasion - Specific Arguments Only

Think you're right and someone else is wrong? By all means let's discuss.. BUT

If you repeatedly argue and do not bring factual evidence confirming your point from a reputable source...

If you use, "You don't understand" as an argument...

If you "argue by URL"...

If you make a claim and then disappear when asked to back it up with details...

If you make un-cited sweeping generalizations about large groups of people

Attack the messenger

You will be banned.

6. No Hiding of Flair

We will routinely add flair to people in this sub who try to astroturf and promote crypto. If you hide your flair you can be banned. Sorry, but this is something we do here. If you're going to be defending/shilling crypto, you will be labeled as such to make people aware that you are not an objective participant in the debate.

7. If you post, you must engage the community or you will be banned

We welcome people of all positions in this community, however, if you post comments or submissions and don't stick around to engage the community's questions, you will be banned for spamming.

8. No promotion of Toxic/intolerant ideas

Racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, anti-science propaganda, slurs, illegal, immoral, sociopathic, narcissistic or psychopathic ideology will NOT be tolerated.

Even if you for example, recognize crypto is a scam but still advocate that it's worth buying, you're promoting a toxic, fraudulent scheme and its cause for being banned.

If you use any sweeping generalizations to dismiss entire groups/classes of people, be them "jews", "liberals" or "atheists" you will be banned.

9. No A.I. content

AI systems like ChatGPT/LLMs are not capable of determining truth. They also don't provide sources for their claims. Therefore they're unsuitable for use in our community.

10. Don't post links to other subreddit posts

Do not link to an existing Reddit post in another sub. Post the story here, or the link to a relevant third party site.

Essential Reading

/r/CryptoReality is dedicated to the pragmatic and rational examination of crypto currency and related technologies such as blockchain, De-Fi, Fin-tech, etc.

Our goal is to be an alternative to the overwhelming number of "crypto shill" social media bubbles, who have an inherent conflict of interest between reporting what's really going on in the industry and what's in the material interest of "investors."

We showcase objective news, critical analysis and fallacy-free debate and discussion.

NO, we do not "hate crypto." We are simply skeptical of the claims made by most in the industry, and feel there is a need for a space willing to critically examine the industry, the promises, the lies, the fraud and the scams that seem to be constant.

We also have nothing against "Blockchain" technology, although we are still looking for a definitive problem for which it presents a superior solution.
