> you're effectively acknowledging that cryptocurrency is money. No, I'm acknowledging that it is a dangerous technology that has cash in its name. I don't literally think it's a tornado nor do I literally think it is cash anymore than I think the bits of electricity that carry a bank transfer are cash. I'm trying to have an adult look at it without falling into the perfect abstractionism trap that so many of us software folk fall into. Politics and power is not built upon perfect abstractions or perfect mindshare. It's built on violence and realism at the worst of times and I don't want ideologues destroying peace and the planet.
