    Oh yeah - already there on all of that. Been turned off from BTC since the 2017 hardfork. I continue to believe an effective, cheap, and transparent settlement layer is a must if we ever are to separate money and state.

    To speak more to commonality, I feel BCH XMR and GME have all undergone similar sidelining from establishment thought and media.

      You’re on top of it Chives! Rock on. I agree about those synergies and the general ethos of the movements and communities.

      The ETH/ETC hard fork chain rollback was a canary in the coal mine too for centralization and transparent chains, amongst many others with rise of the big public exchanges and so forth.

      Edit: to parallel a bit more, what happened over the life of Superstonk has some similarities to the Blockstream takeover and corruption of many of the core devs on BTC pre block size debate ultimately leading to the fork, just like SS splintered.

        I definitely feel the same as what you express in your edit. I was around and involved through both events and the parallels are numerous and stark. I’m hopeful that the natural co-mingling of independent communities on the Fediverse can be a somewhat natural foil. Only time will tell - more people learn about this alternative by the day.

          I think we both share similar sensibilities and reasons for hope.

          Thank you for your part in bringing refugees from SS along to greener pastures, ultimately off of reddit and more centralized services entirely, which has been and will continue to be integral in my opinion.

          Love and respect your efforts and integrity. Keep on rockin and I’ll do the same trying to bring receptive honest people along for the ride on this ship we are building, online and off.
