    Idk feels a bit like propaganda to me, crypto is the closest to a socialist currency you can get; instead of one or 2 super banks controlling all the money its divided throughout the people.

      If we just bought stuff with crypto and tried to stabilize prices that would be a public-service driven effort, ergo socialist
