Well, faster now.

It’s not too late to move your retirement out of the country!

He’s sooo close to arriving at crypto tokens.

If one chooses the fantasy, then everything else is secondary, even morality grounded in physical reality. If you can be convinced there’s an invisible spirit who wants you to stone people, then you can be convinced it’s OK to torture babies.

As the Christians say - no one can serve two masters. This can’t be fixed without addressing the disease.

There shall be no mirth in this place!

Good point, I’ll be up front about only replacing vibe code, not debugging it.

Their plan A is replacing musicians too.

And do what? This is only happening now because we’re in a fascist economic system. Companies are overwhelmingly monopolies, and when they fail they get bailed out.

Best I can do is crypto assassination markets.

The last time someone succeeded at that, it made the USA even worse.

The person people who down voted you went out to brunch the whole Biden administration.

“We’ll push him left after the election!”

Link please! I’m very skeptical but hope to be wrong.

Let’s say I open a factory and issue shares on Ethereum. Then for whatever reason a judge orders the company to give up some shares. The shareholders, safely in cypherspace, ignore that court order. And then the state seizes the whole factory. In practice the original shares no longer mean anything.

What do you mean by honest in this context? Both Bitcoin and Monero prevent bailouts, they’re FOSS, and they’ve been working smoothly for years.

If your organization is decentralized, then its assets can’t be seized by a court order. For example, darknet market admins (arbitrators) and their drug dealers don’t even know who each other are. They’ve had a polycentric legal system for years.

But corporate stock remains centralized. They have a known headquarters with a known board of trustees. Their assets aren’t carried on-chain; only some guy’s promise to those assets.

My point is that an anarchist economy needs to be built from the ground up, circumventing the state’s legal system. Slapping a blockchain on top of an already centralized system won’t make it decentralized and thus provides no benefit.

You’re talking about real-world assets carried on-chain, right? Bitcoin has supported this for a very very long time.

Literally every cryptocurrency supports this. But if the real world assets can be seized with a court order, then what’s the point of a blockchain and not just a legally compliant database?

If we’re sharing our hopes, then I’d like to see the Russian empire crumble and all political power returned to indigenous people.
