RE: American Airline to launch its crypto coin - FLY (Fake or Real news?)
Oh, well done! The thing about "good" fake news is that it tends to be totally believable. Frequent flyer miles? We have them. High credit card fees? Yup, those are a reality. So the idea of some company creating a crypto coin to lure an additional market is not a HUGE stretch.
One of the things that always worry me in all this is the education system. Kids are not taught how to think critically and how to do objective research, and with the technological generation now coming up, I worry many will end up getting scammed by things that "sound good," but end up going unquestioned...
That is what we need to worry about more than anything such as financial crash, war etc. Whole generations are coming up with literally zero critical thinking. They believe and behave like living in the star trek situation where you don't need to work to fulfill your basic needs such as food, shelter etc. we may call them delusional and the existing generation is totally misguided. In either case, we are doomed!
I'd like to think we're not quite doomed (although you're probably right) but we definitely face a long battle of teaching some basic common sense....
