I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

Button Mash explains The Blockchain to his mom's new boyfriend.
Based on a tweet which is given at the end to avoid spoilers.
Thanks to csos95, Damaged, Raleigh, Samey90, and the rest of the Discord crews for brainstorming.
[Sex] tag probably not necessary, but it's easier to add it than to argue about it.

Crypto is absolute bullshit.

Thunderlane would agree with you.
Next on: Thunderlane helps Button's mom with Button's gaming addiction.
This is pretty fun. I'd not mind seeing more of these two's adversarial relationship.
Alas, poor Button. He is the perfect in-universe representative of crypto-suckers. Hopefully he'll become older and wiser and put that rig to a more constructive use. (Or at least flip it for more than negative four hundred bucks.)

Let's hope he never tries gambling.

Thunderlane knows what he's doing.
(It's Button's mom.)
All hell is going to break lose when people finally realise cheap GPUs can run decent speed quantum optical hologram convolution filters, where you just invoke the solution format required, throw in a random number, and it gives you the solution.
Especially when someone points out its just like selling a ten cent spacial light modulation hologram plastic sheet thats got th algorithm encoded into it, and for 64 bit you only need an 8*8 light array which a home computer from the 1970s can generate in a fraction of a second.
Intrestingly enough, the use of a hologram for a convolutional search function was also proposed and demonstrated back in the 1970s, but you cant black box license and access restrict that kind of tech as easily as quantum particle processing.
But thats Mining. the blockchain though is goverened by its history, and the Published Blockchain hashes go back to newspaper entris in the 1990s. So if you truely awnt to hack the blockchain history, you have to hit the Library of Congress amongst others, to delete or alter those historical newspaper entries amongst many others.
Oh well, what do I know. I support a computer system thats been erased from history even though it helped create a fair bit of that history.

Miracles we do at once, the impossible takes a little longer.
Really, a Scimitar? Id have thought it wouldve been the Robin, cos of Thunderlane cclaiming to be Spitfires Batman.
¡CryptoCurrency, BlockChain, and NFTs are the gifts that keep on giving! By the way, ¿would you like to buy a TulipBulb?
I may be mumble-mumble years old, but I never get tired of a good your mom joke.
Maybe it's just me, but the whole crypto crap currently going on just plain strikes me as the digital equivalent of The Emperor's New Clothes.
Nobody wants to admit they don't have a clue what the buzzwords being thrown about by the fast-talking salesmen really mean, because they're so paralyzed by the possibility of looking ignorant in front of others.
So they just nod and smile politely, and pretend they have some idea about all the gobbledegook being thrown around like grenades in a war zone at the speed of an auctioneer speaking.
And when they actually buy into the hype, they don't want to admit they were wrong and look like the sucker they are, so they double down on the belief that they're right, and defend their being taken to the cleaners like they've been brainwashed into some sort of cult, attacking anyone and everyone who questions their certainty with all the viciousness of a rabid attack dog.
All because they'd rather lose their life savings on an obvious scam, than be embarrassed by admitting that they aren't as smart as they'd like to think they are.

The fact that the bullshit generator and the real thing sound indistinguishable is a good hint.

¡That is very insightful!
I wrote the code for an NFT project last year. It's a little amusing that nonce is short for "Number ONly used onCE," which is occasionally useful in cryptography. But nonce is also British slang for an adult with shall we say an unhealthy fondness for children.
That can lead to some awkward conversations.

Again, having written the code for a blockchain project...I can assure you firsthand that some of those salesmen you're talking about also don't know what the buzzwords they're throwing around mean.
If anybody is curious enough to bother to ask, I can probably explain what all this stuff really is and how it works in plain English. It's not as complicated as the people trying to take your money make it out to be.

Why does that smartassed Celestia profile picture work so well with what you're saying?
11446598
Because everypony loves Best Princess.
On the contrary, here at PippCoinTM, we are committed to sustainability, and we understand the impact our waste heat has on the environment.
That's why all the waste heat from PippCoin servers are used to heat water for my patron-only hot tub streams~!
You don't know how many times I've accidentally cussed out my mom (the Queen of Zephyr Heights lol) because of this.
But voice-activated text-while-flying is still really useful; don't EVER text while flying, Pippsqueaks!
LMAO I wish the Marestream had seatbelts. Big sis, bless her heart, is SUCH a bad driver.
This story was surprisingly relatable for me! Much love, Sock!

It's not just you. We're seeing the whole crypto ecosystem collapsing in slo-mo, and it's becoming clear that they're all corrupt, incompetent, and high on their own supply of farts. I think bitcoin's more likely to be $2 than $20k a year from now.

But what about the next triple A game that requires a mega battlestation!
Not bad. It reminds me of this gem:

As someone who has invested into it and does things with crypto, yes you are right there is a absurd ammount of Emperor's New Clothes going on.
NFTs are a pretty good example. They are good for a few things, but they are not at all the absurd investment and insane opportunity so many crypto bros make them sound like. They are just a fancy way to register ownership, that's it. All they should be used for is things like concert tickets or contract verification. Not Gold 2 loke people claim.
Of all the stories I've ever read, this was definitely one of them!
I feel bad for Botton Mash. Good kid tricked by Crypto. Maybe someone can try to talk him out of the scam(hey Thunderlane there's a video by Idea Folding you can share to your possible future step-son)
The concept is by default abusive
I rather not see it in Mlp, which is about unity and support, not exploding others...
Crypto can go to Tartarus and rot.

Satire can't pull punches or it falls flat, sadly.

I dunno... The linked CryptoWank Generator site gave me this lovely gem:
shill exchange cryptocurrencyDon't get on Sunnybunny's ranting level. She will destroy you with PURE GAMER RAGE.
lol, yes
11446969 But I like explod- OHHHHHHH, you meant EXPLOITING others!
Yeah, I don't like that. Blowing people into meatly bits? AWESOME! Being a bankster shill? LAAAAAME!

I knew exactly what that link would be; Still threw up in my mouth a little. The mid 20th century was a weird time for british cars, I tell you what.
This gave me a much needed chuckle, so please have another upvote!
LOL, interesting.

This is how I get my crypto-bot ban counter incremented by +1.
