That's a pretty funny statement given that the "mission" of the crypto world is an explicitly political one, overlapping significantly with extreme libertarian and anarchocapitalist movements.

- jokethrowaway 4y agoAs an ancap I've plenty of friends who put everything in crypto and made ridiculous money and I'm sure they'll try to advance the cause - personally I don't buy the idea crypto is very much ancap and I'm pretty sure most people in crypto are in there just for speculation until the government comes to close everything (or make it useless with regulations). An ancap idea would be to create a private bank which creates a currency and back it with real goods. Anyway crypto would be at best a technical solution to a political problem (government existing) and you'll never fix a political problem with technology alone.
