- WFHRenaissance 4y agoVery good point
- honkler 4y agoscihub exists because it is protected by russian firepower, not cryptoponzi schemes.
- tluyben2 4y agoIs that not actually worse?
- eternalban 4y agoAging kinda sucks too, but alas it is biological reality. "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" - Mao The infrastructure required to support these schemes - networks, energy, hardware - are all firmly under the control of those who have a firmer grasp on political realities on planet Earth than 'crypto' enthusiasts. Seriously hate to break these facts to you, but past/present/future reality is about systems of "authority", and not systems of "trust". An 'authority' gives you a digital ID, a social security card, a driver's license, etc. And this authority has political power and as to how it maintains its power, what Mao said. [p.s. Let's grant that Unicorns are 'prettier' than generic horses. Fine. That does not alter the fact that unicorns are fictional. And no, sticking a paper mache horn colored in hashes on a horse does not make it a unicorn. (see 'scam', 'fraud', 'snake oil' for related matters.)]
