THE MOOCH!
Now there's a character I didn't expect to be brought back for this season
For the young folks here, you should know that this isn't even the worst thing they've done.
Bill Clinton blew up a pharmaceutical factory in i think Sudan? That produced like 90 percent of the countries essential medicine. Claimed, against all evidence to the contrary, that it was producing chemical weapons or some bullshit. To the best of my knowledge the lost production capacity was never replaced and for going on thirty years there has been mass suffering due to the lack of essential medicines.
It's so fucking funny how crypto use to be about skirting regulations, taxes, and potentially being untraceable with proper OSPEC and now its like, "check out these former world leaders into crypto now, isn't that cool"
No. Setting the world on fire so you could buy weed anonymously, online could never be cool.
From day 1 it's been in the interest of the wealthy elite to use crypto. Bitcoin is Peter Thiel's wet dream for a post-government anarchocapitalist currency.
It literally can't function without tons of servers running as part of a network all over the world. People are only going to spend money running servers if they get something back for it. If there's money to be made off it, that means the people who already have the most money will be the biggest winners.
No I think they just told themselves they'd do one last grift before they collapse the economy. Besides, housing bubbles are so 2008.
"Disruptive" technologies like this aren't a threat to class relations in themselves, only to individual actors within the ruling class. Crypto is a way to bypass existing financial regulations and allows some new individuals to rise from petit bourge to haute bourgeoisie, but doesn't threaten the finance industry in itself. Just as battery electric vehicles make established car manufacturers struggle to adapt to a changing market, but do not change anything about the way our society understands mobility.
It's very hard to break associations between "tropical paradise" :grillman: magnets and :epstein: these days.
