Well, bitcoin and blockchain have not had any meaningful impact of my company, work, or personal life thus far. I am hoping that remains the case but with musk pushing crypto currency hard and the fact that he will play a major role in our government next year, crypto currency might start to have a major impact on all aspects of our lives.

Hmmm I hope we don’t turn our government in a joke… too many people rely on the US

It’s helped me sort between the people who hype over things because they’re popular and the people who actually understand technology and basic value propositions

Haha fair enough

It hasn't had any impact whatsoever on my life, outside of reading about it. My sense of it all along is that it's a massive pump and dump scheme. And having people like co-president Musk hyping it just confirms that to my mind.

A very long pump and dump. I know many common folk that are my friends make a lot of money.

I don't think it will have any impact, honestly.

I hope we can utilize blockchain cryptography more effectively

Not sure

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
