They can use it for that reason, it doesn't mean that blockchains are actually solving that problem. It only means regulators haven't caught up to them yet. A lot of drug transactions still appear to be made in cash. >Access to money is also quite important in fighting unjust laws Apparently not, as I have seen approximately none of that happening in cryptocurrency. It's almost all scams, i.e. people trying to fight against just laws that say you can't scam.

Uh, yeah. If you don't believe money is important for political change then we're not going to see eye to eye. Renting a hall, travelling to a protest, hosting a website, printing a pamphlet, all costs money. Denying someone the freedom to transact is a very effective way of silencing them, which is why Trudeau literally did it. We clearly don't occupy the same universe.

  That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. Again, if the government really doesn't want you to rent a hall or host a website, they'll just arrest you. I really don't know how you draw the line from that to saying "the solution is to transact in these virtual casino tokens", if you could explain that then maybe I'd be able to understand your "universe".

    > That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said You literally contradicted the statement that money is important for political change. Maybe you wish you didn't say that, but you did. > Again, if the government really doesn't want you to rent a hall or host a website, they'll just arrest you. They could also have gunned down all the protestors, but they weren't willing to do that. Obviously if you believe the government will escalate endlessly then that changes the equation. Sorry, but I don't think you're cut out for this conversation, and I don't like it when people try to rewrite arguments they made mere minutes earlier. Have a great day.

      Actually no, you're way off here in multiple ways. My statement from the beginning was that political solutions are required for political problems. "Money for political solutions" is usually described as "lobbying" and most activists I've talked to would consider too much unrestricted lobbying to be bad. Maybe you can understand that sometimes money is actually bad for political change.
