      Math people make me laugh.

      100000 is ‘one hundred thousand’. Your younger self would hear ‘Bitcoin sell one’ followed by confusing silence. Same goes for ‘Bitcoin sell 2025’, twenty twenty five, two thousand twenty five — both ways are too many words.

        The fact you don’t know how to use hyphens doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t. They’ve always been more useful and less bot reeking than em-dashes.

          An em dash signifies a longer pause — I’ll continue to use them however I see fit. It’s telling, though, that you assume an em dash means I’m using an AI to write.

          Edit: Math friends :)

            When did I say you were using AI? By all means, stick to your shitty style choices, but there’s no need to start lying about things.

              👍 Yes your brain is so very big Mr. math friend — I’m sure you’ve completely outclassed every person you’ve ever met in writing.

              Wait, but you’re familiar enough with AI to think em dashes = bot style… Could it be that… you’re lying? Impossible.
