The problem is that all the proponents of blockchain have conflated technical arguments for decentralisation with lofty political ideas for radical social reengineering and have been working to pump the blockchain assets to give themselves the capital to fight their social agendas. It’s all buried in plain sight. But the credible ideas are running out and the flagrant lack of accountability this time around is kind of no different to Socialism 1.0 or Communism 1.0. I look forward to being cancelled for having such a viewpoint.
- jongjong 4y agoThe movement was corrupted years ago. The goal of founders has been self-enrichment since.
- tromp 4y agoMostly agreed, but not every blockchain allows its creators to enrich themselves.
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoNot sure why the "Socialism 1.0" reference when the books these kids read -- and what inspires the thing they're doing -- is primarily Ayn Rand / Jordan Peterson (or if they're really going upmarket, Milton Friedman etc), not Marx or Trotsky or Prouhdon. It's all about dispensing with social/communal accountability entirely.
