After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity.— Jackson Palmer (@ummjackson) July 14, 2021

    I’m pretty sure it was also originally created as a joke/programming exercise

    I wonder if he was radicalized before he made it

    Honestly, though, the hatred for crypto on this site is short-sighted. Imagine Youtube or Twitter without a centralized authority to shut down particular voices? Why is that not a good thing. It can get there. It might not, but the technology allows for it if society uses it that way.

      Currency

      Decentralised cryptographic protocols are very cool, I don't think anyone here has a problem with them, the way a lot of them are being used as a way for scumfuck capitalists to take money people can't afford to give them by selling a dream of being rich enough not to work any more is decidedly not.
