    I’ve posted this on another thread and I’ll post it here too: The left has been in denial in regards to crypto. It needs to embrace decentralised crypto currencies such as ETH asap or perish. After all the current world/system we live in is ran by capital and without leftists are powerless. Either that or rivers of blood and no guarantees.

      I’ve been following this stuff for a long time and most people don’t have the first clue about what the US government has been doing with cryptocurrency, which in many cases amounts to overt attacks on the freedom to write and publish open software (which does affect more than just crypto). Kind of hard for there be a meaningful conversation about it when the whole topic is kind of taboo, saturated with simplistic narratives, and basic information about what is happening isn’t even widely known.

        Is it the software? Is it really? Or is it the shitload of money sloshing around?
