I've done my absolute level best to conquer my extreme dread about the idea of returning to Twitter after such a nice calm introspective break touching grass and eating ass, but unfortunately, I'm tapping out. The grass won, and I have run out of ass.
I loved the OG core concepts and philosophies of crypto. I loved the anonymous Internet free speech bantz. I loved the degenerate gambling casino shitcoins. I loved the stimmed-up fraternity of the bull market group chats and the in-jokes and the memes. I loved that cool spergy turbo dorks in their underwear made millions randomly for no reason on $CUMFARTINU, and wagies threw coping seething temper tantrums about how unfair it was during their lunch breaks from their wage cages. I love all the amazing people that I met throughout my time in this world. I love the awesome NFT project me and my buddies created, and I love the lil community/family of people that built up around it organically over the last year.
I hate the cynical dorktech shit. I hate cashtags and hypebeasts and ketamine and any variation of the word "Lamborghini". I hate "epic based shitposter" poser corporate DeFi accounts. I hate Discord and I REALLY REALLY fucking hate Telegram - stop using Telegram you guys it sucks SO much ass. I hate all the California pencildick financebro-lite types - we had a very pleasant lil silly unregulated scam dopamine casino/schizo privacymaxxing government-hater bunker combo vibe going, nobody needed to dress it all up with their revolutionary "financial technology" that really (MOSTLY - definitely a few exceptions) just boiled down to "banks, but worse UI and security". I hate Southern California - fuck you, Southern California. Eat shit. Also I hate Connecticut. Not crypto-related really, just a shit state to drive through innit
Newsflash, Poindexter: most of you are doing exactly as much good and meaningful work as the Nigerian Prince scammers and Bored Ape phishers, and at least THOSE guys are FUNNY. Pull the stick out of your ass, you're not banking the unbanked by creating a novel new concept like "Municipal Bonds for Metaverse Land Owners" or "literally just regular old stocks, but in an illegal, unbacked, and more expensive to buy format". Be based and make a funny cum-themed pool 2 Ponzi if ur really real, otherwise you might as well just go back to your gay bank you pussy
I've never been shy about telling people that I came to crypto for the same reason every single other person here did (besides the genuine ultra super-based schizos, respect to y'all boys btw): I liked the idea that you could make a bunch of money in your underwear sitting around with your Internet friends...I thought it was funny that the government hated it so much and I thought it was cool that at least ONE thing on the internet still had balls and cheeky lil degenerate fun. Frankly, unless I'm talking to a very clearly genuine omega-tinfoil schizochad, I'm always very suspicious of anybody who claims to be here for any other reason. What more reason would you need than big balls gambling in ur mum's basement with the fellas?
Over time, though, I'll admit (to my deep embarrassment) that I did come to really appreciate the fact that so many people here TRULY cared about the genuinely important (and quickly evaporating) principles of anonymity, self custody, self responsibility, and autonomy. I'm no freedom fighter - I'm just a frog on the Internet that likes big jiggly booby anime NFTs and shitcoins. But I also really do appreciate the spirit of all those important principles too - they are truly vital, and it's awesome that we have other people here who will dedicate their lives to fighting the governments, the Feds, the hypebois, the scammers and the dickriders to champion them. I don't have that dawg in me (I'm too old, too mellow, too dumb, and I love my friends and family too much to summon up that level of self-sacrifice and idealism). I salute you, true based schizos. You're a dying breed.
Really, I can't stress enough that at the end of the day, my ultimate takeaway here is that crypto fucking rocked ass. I really am so much better and happier for having found you guys. Where else in the otherwise soulless 2020s could you find such a thing as a degenerate legal(ish) gambling den + anon-friendly friendship sim + a culture that (mostly) understood that making and losing vast sums of money for basically no reason was very very based? I loved being here with other long dick chads who could lose 80% of their net worth and laugh it off - was nice to see people just sucking it up and dealing with it like a real human bean, instead of crybullying and whining like the rest of the world.
I really really hope that high test absurdist world comes back someday – I know it's still here now in certain places, but it just doesn't get my soul's dick hard like it used to. It feels sad - maybe because I ended up getting burned by a couple of supposed friends from here, or because I got jaded in general re: the new lame internet (I am genuinely gullible, emotional, thin-skinned and overly saccharine pretty often, so it do be happening). Ultimately it doesn't really matter - internet insanity is a young man's game, and I am simply a redneck boomer.
I will, of course, continue to be very engaged in Anata stuff behind the scenes - I love our lil booby NFT waifu/husbando project, and I always always will. Say what you will about NFTs, auctions, anime, Anata, Vtubers, etc......it has been really cool to get to make something I just genuinely really like, and to see a warm and fun group of internet people who also enjoy that thing come together over time to enjoy it together. I challenge anyone to explain how some new DeFi delta-neutral theta compounding automated yield optimized market fuckler technology engine could possibly do anything as cool as making anime a LITTLE bit realer, and maybe even getting your weiner hard as a bonus (if you're into anime girls like that)
Speaking of, I'm hoping to go back to being way more present again in the Anata Discord soon than I was during Twitter detox break - my social media exhaustion (based and justified) bled into screen exhaustion in general (also based and justified) and the unfortunate casualty of Discord detox was definitely my time there bullshitting and hanging out with the boys and ladies and etc.
Anyhow, that's it for ole D. It's been a hell of a wild ride, and so many of you have brought me so much joy and warmth and companionship throughout the very meaningful years we spent together. I will always remember our days together shitcoining, debasing ourselves for Fiverr NFT Discord roles, sending pics of our ballsacks to each other in GCs, and just generally goofing off. Jobs are very very cringe, this was way cooler.
I'll always remember you as you were - my beloved internet cartoon pals. I'm off to my new life on Gay Sex Island. Sure, the constant mandatory rough trade gay sex can be a real pain in the ass, but they don't have internet there so it's still more fun and more based than the rest of the world by default. It's not much, but I'll take it.
See ya space cowboy
