…. That changed after Marc Andreessen discussed the issue on Joe Rogan last week: “We have had 30 founders in the last four years debanked. This is why we supported Trump.”  ….

Just think about the absolutely vacuous irony of that statement.  Crypto was supposed to be new money and replace banks. It never wanted to be banked let alone debanked. 

This means “Crypto” is now the brand name of a “tech stack” and not a freedom project.   Fine, I’m happy with that. I love good tech.  But don’t pretend crypto is any more free than a Google search or an iPhone.

A new freedom from big-government/big-tech will emerge with a new brand.  It always does…
