There's worldview, and then there's confidently stating speculative mind-reading as fact.
Like when you say that the true reason behind payment processors and governments backing Libra was to "hold off the cryptocurrencies for a few extra years." Can you source your claim? Or any of your theories? Is this something you just 'know' to be true?
The cryptocurrency community is rife with people describing in exact detail the thinking and motivation of players behind the scenes, but often it turns out to be just "Here's what I am imagining".
- ilaksh 7y agoThat's true it's speculation and I should have qualified it as such. The reason I felt motivated to state it that way though is because it seems so obvious to me that the explanations coming from these companies are marketing that contradict the technical reality. As far as other cryptocurrency people, there are a lot of people who think very differently and everyone has their own view, so maybe the negative generalizations should be tempered. But you got your generalization in there so what the heck, here is mine. The mainstream community is rife with people who accept marketing and propaganda as truth, but often it turns out to be just "bullshit" and companies or governments were actually just doing selfish things to help themselves strategically.
