i just wish that new technology that came out was cool and good and made our lives better. When I was a kid all the phones went from landlines with boingy cords to wireless! The internet went from annoying dial-up noises that turned off the phone to so fast you could watch a movie faster than you could download a song just 5 years prior. Cars started coming with the unlocking button fob! THE BUTTON YOU PRESS TO UNLOCK YOUR CAR! it was so cool! Now all the technology sucks man. When’s the last time some little cool gizmo came out that made our lives better?

This is fanfiction. There’s no analysis of power, no analysis of capital, no understanding of the overwhelming problems with any blockchain technology.

And worse it’s boring. If you’re going to be a leftist crank about some weird thing, do aliens or something

Just to entertain the idea for a second that some shitcoin will actually level the global market. Let’s ignore the fact that there are plenty of ways to re-annonymize coins and all the other problems with it.

What would compel any holder of large capital to use it? What is the fulcrum of power that will stop these entities from using fiat currencies? If the global system right now benefits them so much (it does) why would they give it up and use something that doesn’t?

embarassingly naive. The only thing Blockchain technology is good at is fleecing people who still havn’t realized its a failed technology with no future beyond money laundering and scamming rubes

More importantly, is there any evidence that politeness and trying as best as possible to engage in good faith in every interaction leads to better outcomes? Is Posting Praxis?

Obviously not! We’re all just screaming into the void for our own entertainment. If you wanted to make the world better you wouldn’t waste your time on a federated reddit clone telling people they’re being too rude.

In Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (H3VR) if you shoot the gun out of an enemy hotdog’s hand it’ll flee and cower in the corner

What I look for in a bank is that it refuses to pay its rent on things like buildings and hosting contracts. That means they’ll keep my money extra safe instead of spending it on foolish things like keeping continuing to be a bank.
