Yeah, unfortunately a lot of these blog posts are very US-centric. There are still plenty of people in Europe living in poverty and their white privilege somehow didn't save them. It's interesting how these racist ideas get tossed

Yep this is what I'm referring to. And an 8 MB block size still won't resolve the problem. It's really tiring to see bitcoin promoted as some sort of second-coming-of-Christ when all evidence points to it being nothing more t
