    The people who believe in keeping their wealth in imaginary computer money also being into vibe-coding is the most hilarious possible outcome. It’s an inexhaustible cavalcade of clownfuckery.

      Having just left a job in the crypto space, the venn diagram of crypto bros and vibe coders is a single fucking circle.

      These people hop from one hype train to the next like moths to a flame.

        I’m no authority on the subject but when I use “imaginary” to refer to money I mean it isn’t backed by anything. Most currencies are backed by a government, stocks are nominally backed by the profitability of the business that issued the stock, futures by commodities, etc. Crypto is traded like securities but has nothing backing it at all other than people’s willingness to buy it from you at a given price.

        Like many things it boils down to how you define your terms, “imaginary” in this case.
