Here's the ironic twist, from where I am sitting... we've got this whole crypto-idealism going; cryptocurrencies as a response to fiat currencies being created "out of thin air" whenever governments turn on the printing presses...

Over here in crypto land we would NEVER do that. We just fork endlessly and give people double the coins every time we do so! And this is different HOW, exactly?

So yeah, "please tell me this is a joke."
