- glutamate 5y agoWho do you think they are making money from?
- UncleMeat 5y agoWhen the wealthy deign to give "access" to the poor while using the arms of capitalism to enrich themselves, that's not charity. People getting rich off financial derivatives of the transactions of the rest of the world are just getting rich. They aren't providing value.
- kobalsky 5y agoNo one gives access to crypto, you have access. If you open your wallet and you find a global reserve currency then you should buy the book that was linked earlier about privilege. Maybe it's just me, but when you live in a place where it's illegal to purchase foreign currency and you are forced to convert all your income from exports into a currency that evaporates in front of your eyes, your view of crypto changes dramatically.
- giaour 5y agoI believe GP was referring to access to capital markets, not permission to use cryptocurrency. "Access" to an empty cryptocurrency wallet is worthless no matter where you live.
