typo, meant to delete “at its core” at the start

the true core of this story is that it made the longstanding truth clear as crystal: with wealth disparity, stock tickers and marketing narratives are just completely disconnected from how much a thing is actually desired or wanted by the public

at its core, you can name dozens of differences, sure. but at its quintessence, we see how infrastructure and support for tech hype is so connected to narrative, and detached from the lived reality of the average person. who fucking needs this? who asked for it?

really the primary difference is rate of mass delusion amongst investors. which only warmed because sentiment chilled on nfts the year prior and they desperately needed a win in a nosediving economy

yo…… seasquatch
