The article only ever mentions Reddit in the title. Clickbait. Not that interesting.

The one thing I learned from this article is that the DJ Palm Motif is referred to as the "Weed". Who knew!

Buuut where did all this currency come from to buy so many things? It didn't just magically appear out of thin air for free (did it?). The IMF just gave a big warning about debt / servicing.

It all makes sense now. Show the palm motif dial for free dispense at local shop.

Looks like Opinion writers are already off for the holidays.

Have to agree nothing more than clickbait, and especially with many of todays younger age whose sole information cupboard is in so called social media, Youtube etc. Instead of using there own grey matter brain, as the so called social media have taken over there lives, and use of there own brain power to think for themselves.

Have to agree. Mad frenzy started well before covid and I still don’t know - or care - what Reddit is and what it’s done. Poor article, recycling the same lazy tropes we’ve had for last couple of years.

Well, Reddit is where the youngin's get their stonk tips. They also love crypto because they live virtual lives and so a virtual currency seems super cool.
