TIL that television program “The Boys” has an in universe cryptocurrency as a satire of, well, cryptocurrency in general but also specifically that time when DJT was selling NFTs. They occasionally tweet about it.
It has a listing on the “BSCScan” crypto tracker under the name “VTC” so someone might have actually minted it? It might surprise some of you that I have no way of telling the realness of such a thing.
oh i agree, but verhoeven’s reading of the original is still not wrong, and the reassons for his distaste are valid. and heinlein was not only the author of the moon is harsh mistress, but also of the incredibly racist farnham’s freehold (yes, i’m aware that he probably toned down the racism of campbell’s original, but that’s a bar so low that you need to dig a trench to find it.)
