I get paid in dai in the ethereum system and that keeps a roof on my head and the lights going, along with a few other hundred?thousand? people.

I still dont get why hackernews always has a bad reaction to cryptocurrencies. Disruption and innovation is praised, unless it challenges money. Experiments with computing and code is praised, but only if its a toy language.

We're all on the same side :) just playing with different ways to do things.
