    I see the common mistake of associating the left with authoritarianism.

    China and such are not left. They’re even further right to the point of fascism labeled communism.

    Remebere communism/socialism is about the workers relation to the means of production. Chinese people do not own the factories they work on, so I’m not sure you can call them left.













  • Can you see how “there’s not a better solution” isn’t addressing the problem that crypto is fundamentally a scam?

    Also, you can’t pay your rent with crypto either….

    EDIT: if you want crypto to pass my sniff test, you have to explain where value comes from.

    Fiat currency is valuable because I can pay my taxes with it. (This is really the only reason it has value).

    So what underpins crypto value beyond “it’s the future”
