The internet is a buzzword thrown onto old concepts? Instantaneous transfer of large amounts of data? Democratization and seamless diffusion of anything, from memes to “money”? “no but crypto is indeed a scam” is completely missing my point, and hitting the meme again
Your point is adding fancy words to make something sound smarter, likely screwing someone along the way, if the track record of the use of “paradigms” is any indication. It’s okay to let at least some things stay simple. If someone broke into my home, I wouldn’t call the cops and report a “spry possession-reappropriating malcontent”, I’d report a thief. Same with crypto, I wouldn’t report a “financial savant”, I’d report a money launderer. You see, sometimes adding fancy, unneeded words to something does nothing but make you sound like a pretentious tool.
