    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.

    Yes. It’s about time we start showing concern for the Trump administration.

    Surely it’s treason to launch a new currency not backed by the US government while you are the government

      Doesn’t matter what’s legal or treasonous or whatever. He gets away with everything. His Republicans lackey and Supreme Court will do nothing.

    Politicians should have to take a vow of poverty and celibacy and if they’re caught owning more than two pairs of shoes we tear them apart starting with the tips of the fingers and toes and working spineward one bone at a time while all of the others watch with their eyelids stapled open. “Greed detected. Mandatory disassembly initiated. All innocents will be harmed. The guilty will be harmed a LOT more.”

    Has anybody tried this? Maybe we can give it a try here in North America after Trump burns down the United States.

      He might even send you a ‘signed’ thank you photo, if you pay the entrance fee for the draw!

    Why can’t a state mint one of these pieces of shit and do a kind of soft secession?

    Rest assured that any crypto legislation will fail to address complete scams and will simply stifle innovation instead.

        I 100% don’t agree. There’s bullshit masquerading as innovation, and all kinds of harmful technology, but innovation (read: technology) has given us everything of actual value that we have.

          Great for you but darpanet was a government project and it gave us a lot of what we have.
