Should it be fixed to an arbitrary quantity of random numbers we burn electricity to find, either?

"Absurd" is the new normal in post-modern society.

If I had to pick which better exemplified post modern society and absurdity, I'd pick unlimited government money printing by the Fed, over bitcoin.

Weimar Germany pretty much defined what it means to be "post-modern," and they printed themselves into extinction (admittedly, that's not the whole story).
