PNY has released the first SSD designed specifically for Chia cryptocurrency mining. I'm of mixed feelings about this.

I don't understand "cryptocurrency".

In human history, exchange has always been about bargaining. Before the advent of coins and paper money, there was the exchange of livestock, crops and unfortunately even females. I simply do not see how a "virtual exchange "can escape an eventual physical end.

The word "Crypt" by itself literally refers to death. I don't see how financial stability grows in death.

You are a moron.

Crypt - a vault.

It comes from the Greek kruptos - meaning hidden.

If basketball "great" Larry Bird was actually a bird, why didn't he just fly to Moredoors?

You don't even understand regular currency.

If only we had instant access to just about all the information ever. Someone might be able to do a little research, before proudly yammering on with utter ignorance.
