Technology?

If news articles about Elons current tweet or TSLAs stock price is Technology, then why not this?

I never saw such posts. Who cares about tesla stock price?

Luckily it's been a minute since they have sprung up. I am just salty because last time the flood came, I was like "This is not Technology!!!" Only to receive a dozen down votes.

Yeah this is a bit far fetched, I guess blockchain = tech?
I think this might have had merit some years ago, but bitcoin is not about the tech anymore IMO, because the tech behind it is well established now.
But since we don't have a "financial" sub with any traction that I know of, I'm ok with it being here anyway.

Yeah Bitcoin is a 100% finance thing for a good while now. It's not like price moves up down based on efforts by the open source community behind Bitcoin, it moves by collaborative efforts of traders, speculators, market makers and above all Tether Inc and their cronies.

My interpretation of this place is for anything that involves big tech, which includes tech that is big and big tech companies, the former of which includes Bitcoin

I love seeing fern stock price posts on my gardening community.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 8 months ago

To extend that analogy, this place would be filled with hedge mazes, royal parks and show news instead of gardening tips and local gardens. So fern prices would be in the former category anyway
