Yeah, I know leftists hate crypto but this shit legit is making me want some.
I know crypto sucks in a lot of functional ways but those issues can probably be sorted out eventually. I don't want to let puritanical authoritarian dipshits dictate what I can buy with my fucking money, or even see if they start also fuck with hosting of free content as well.
I don't even buy porn games, doesn't matter. Its the principle of the thing. And this shit can easily get worse if we let them.
I don't see why people hate on crypto. It's an amazing technology, fully decentralized, with mathematical proof that no one can cheat or abuse it.
I don't have any issues with crypto, but it's more so the people who promote it. They tend to be techno-billionaires Who want to make something needlessly complicated and expensive or else creating a currency that has no real value. The other issue is that it's computationally expensive and not as good for the environment as other payment methods.
I myself, am a proponent of cbdc, but the government has outlawed any creation of a consumer cbdc
