this OpEd reads as intellectually dishonest. 2 Qs: 1 why is it fine for women to be single-issue voters on abortion but not for others to be on crypto? 2 how is it fine to twist the pro-crypto stance from “supporting economic freedom” to “selfish financial interests”? answer seems to be in the last paragraph

1. Not all issues are equal. 2. In the USA, “economic freedom” is not the motivation for most crypto holders. Most are in the global upper class and are trying to get more wealthy. Many are now using it as an excuse to publicly support the authoritarian grifter they would have voted for anyway.

1. if not all issues are equal, then who gets to decide the ranking of issues? 2. while there are grifters, that’s a rather pessimistic view of the crypto industry. based on my own convos with people, thats not their motivation; we must hang in different circles but pls intro me to yours as i appreciate alt POVs

The ranking can always be debated, but suggesting there that ranking isn’t valid seems like moral relativism to me. The avg US holder seems to think about it like stock investing. Ex: whenever I meet a fellow crypto holder, they almost always immediately start talking about price action. 😆

…specifically referring to situations where crypto randomly comes up in conversations at a party or something (not when meeting folks at crypto conferences etc)
