Folks here are helping me narrow down what I don’t like about crypto. I see the argument that it is a way to freely move currency even in the face of authoritarian governments. 

I guess on the one hand, I just don’t believe that governments can’t find a way to crack down on it. All the crying from crypto folks about the tyrannical SEC suggests governments still do matter. 

But more importantly, I think it’s a much better use of time and energy to organize and fight to stop those authoritarian governments from existing in the first place. I see so many brilliant people spending so much time on this thing that is literally separate from reality (it’s right there in the name crypto) when that energy could be put to more fruitful use. Anyway, no final conclusions, just some evolving thoughts.

hard to disagree with this if that's the perspective he has.. imagine what people who aren't trying to understand might think

from honest skeptic to midwit engagement baiter in 0.2s with this take:

(not saying we shouldn't articulate crypto's mission better, but it's wild that so many good people spend time on trying to persuade this person)

fortune cookie casts, memes, parenting, building frames, /framedl, /framedl-pro & /calmer

this is a practical assessment, something that crypto ppl will struggle with. but it's something "normies" will see for what it is

would never expect honesty from a journalist personally, but hey apparently this guy is important
