Fair point—I'll own that. I used "crypto-anarchist" ironically to highlight the absurdity of their self-branding. These people slap "anarchist" onto their ideology like it’s a cool sticker, but what they actually practice is closer to oligarchic tech feudalism.

Real anarchism dismantles hierarchies; these folks just replace them with decentralized scams and call it freedom. If anything, they’re crypto-authoritarians wrapped in libertarian buzzwords, using tech to consolidate power while pretending to oppose it.
