>but crypto is subject to the same politics only with a much smaller pool of voters Anyone can change the crypto you use if you don't like the mechanisms or decisions. Most can't change their choice of government/monetary policy. Market selection pressure works very well historically. We don't have this without crypto. >The mechanisms of distributing crypto clients will betray the interests of the common citizen. There is no leverage for commoners, only special interests. I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Unclear. >Inflation could be used to redistribute wealth for greater equity and the worlds wealthiest see this threat which I think is the only reason crypto has their attention. Are you aware of the nature of inflation? Of where new money supply 1st hits? of the set of special interests aware of & open-market-front-running impending inflation before it's unanimously decided on? Doesn't seem like it.

> Most can't change their choice of government/monetary policy. > Anyone can change the crypto you use if you don't like the mechanisms or decisions. > Market selection pressure works very well historically. We don't have this without crypto. Even with Crypto you don't have this. Crypto is not legal tender, no one has to accept your dogecoin for debts and the only way you can use it is by traversing exchanges with sufficient volume. Network effect is the strongest power here and corporations will coalesce around a handful of coins and all other coins that don't benefit their political interests will be subject to exchange fees which is a non-trivial headwind. Your proclamation about market selection pressure works great in a vacuum, but ignores the reality of our laws and how cartels work. > I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Unclear. 51% attack without any overt subterfuge. A slow boil of legally bribing and buying the means to define the policy of and to distribute client code which benefits the cartel of exchanges, brokers and miners over the retail user. Once the cartel has sufficient dominance, they can tighten the screws and extract wealth from the retail user. >Are you aware of the nature of inflation?

Can you ask that again in words I might understand?
