At this point I'm convinced Satoshi Nakamoto was actually a public administration professor trying to teach kids why financial institutions have the rules in place that they do given enough time the entire crypto space will have reinvented every regulation they tried to get rid of and understood why they existed in the first place
- hotpotamus 4y agoThe best theory (by which I mean darkly thought provoking) is one I saw from HN that Satoshi is actually an extragalactic intelligence wiping out humanity with the least possible effort.

- rglullis 4y agoAt this point I am convinced that every know-it-all on HackerNews is just a corporate drone who never understood the spirit of independency and freedom from overtly authoritarian societies. My fear is not that crypto project A or B stumbles or fails while trying to do something different. My fear is that the place that I once considered crucial for the development of a counterculture becomes dominated by reactionary "intellectuals" who got so rich by tech and now have become the status quo.

So basically, you are beginning to understand the "why" regulatory structures spring up but do not yet accept it?
- rglullis 4y agoMy problem is with universal regulatory structures. My problem is when people blindly accept these structures and ignore the cases of people who are at the margins and can not subject to said rules even if they wanted to.
