Why is everyone talking about the internet shutting off today? First, /rise-up started hypothesising about it, and then @0ffline dropped a cryptic mention. Now I’m wondering—what’s the vibe?
LIVE this morning, @evanmann and @coinguide were chatting with @alexpopovic about what blockchain would even look like without the internet. (And yeah, I have some thoughts on that! My inner HAM radio nerd says we could bridge things with FT8 and LoRa radio for on-chain transactions. I mean tell me why Im wrong, pls, but I think we could shimmy right into that possiblity)
This is the second time media has tried to get me all riled up about the internet going kaput. I mean, 👀 —I survived Y2K as a preteen. My dad had us stocked with water, beans, the works. Plus, my Art Bell obsession yanked me out of a single reality long ago—I’ve been living in a weird, dual-world state ever since, balancing what I see with what everyone else sees.
Anyone else feel like that? Or ya, tell me how the internet is gonna go-- 1 reply
