LinkedIn post that says "Gen z will change India's toxic work culture! OR maybe they will just stop India's economic growth fueled by hard work! you decide.

below there is an exchange on a messaging app between a client and an employee where the client is asking the employee to come to work even though their uncle died, and the employee gives a long response about how life doesn't wait for work.

We need a law that people that treat their employees like this are just forever barred from owning money. Literally. They're legally not allowed to receive or own currency in any form. Make these people go back to barter.

    Now introducing cryptocommodities, totally not a currency at all.

    In the satirical Paranoia tabletop RPG, there are Experience Points. This is a post-monetary society where nobody has a job, so you don't earn "Money" by "working", you earn voluntary Experience Points by doing your mandatory voluntary assignments which you can then exchange for goods and (voluntary) services.

    I was initially surprised thst the stablecoin boom didn't seem to involve more commodity or currency-basket pegged tokens.

    But they aren't in it for that, it's a shiny digital way to go back to pre-1860s protocols where a paper dollar was made up by some dubious piggie and you had to know that it was really worth about 35 cents in government silver coin based on how hard it was to exchange, and insiders could make out like bandits via arbitrage and printing junk that they could pump and dump.

    IMHO the only really necessary and useful stablecoin is DAI. Instead of being issued by some dubious piggie, the peg is maintained by a smart contract. DAI gets far less publicity than Tether for this reason.

    It really goes to show what percentage of crypto bros care about decentralization whatsoever. Tether has a market cap of $184B and is the #3 "cryptocurrency" as of this writing. The dump hasn't even happened yet!
