I have to admit that I wasn’t really paying attention on the day when the total crypto market cap passed a quadrillion dollars. But by that point, did it really matter? “Dollars” were mostly just a unit of accounting by then. It’s weird though; I remember vividly the excitement four years before that when Bitcoin passed a million dollars but, since about that time, most things have been priced in Satoshi Equivalents anyway and people have been paying for stuff in whatever crypto they want and letting a DEX figure out the exchange rate.

After living through the hyperinflation we had as central banks spazzed out before collapsing, nobody bats an eye at paying SE27500 for a latté.

And since The Troubles when many cities became all but uninhabitable, most of my friends and acquaintances have moved to homesteads; so much of what we still buy is delivered by drones. The Famine Year when so many died off when six varieties of GMO crops failed convinced many survivors to grow their own food using heirloom varieties. Gotta admit that I still get some satisfaction re-watching the executions of the top leadership of Bayer, DuPont, and Syngenta. Those bastards killed billions.
