The 29 Stages Of A Twitterstorm In 2018 (Astoundingly accurate. How did we get here?)
Date: 2018-01-19 01:35 pm (UTC)It didn't even number the step, "someone mentions blockchain for no reason". Like seriously, wtf? Cryptocurrencies might or might not be a thing. Some kind of distributed ledger thing might possibly be useful for various supply chain tracking stuff. But there doesn't seem to be any reason to think we need lots of "blockchain engineers". I guess this is sort of what the dotcom boom was like, except that it made sense the internet was going to be important *somehow* even if people were wrong about how.
