Hot take: most people living in poverty are either too stupid to not live in poverty, or choose to live in poverty
Source: spent basically my entire life in poverty, every single person I have ever met who was also in poverty is barely capable of thinking 5 seconds ahead at best and generally stupider than the average animal, having even a meagre amount of intelligence enabled me to do things all of the poor people I knew declared "impossible" with barely any effort. I'm still poor but that's mainly because I have no desire for wealth, and with only a bit of intelligence and some effort I managed to raise myself out of poverty into merely being poor

The only real anarchism is radical centrism, having no stance on any issue and not caring what anyone does so long as it doesn't impede your ability to grill

God, nearly every anti-crypto argument is coming someone who is either pro-central banks or some commie/socialist.

I'm not saying that crypto-currencies are a panacea, but it's a useful tool for breaking free of the central banksters that have full control of our money.

@lanodan @feld @hj I'm jumping in this thread late and I don't particularly care if people agree with me or not on the topic, but I feel compelled to say that counterparty risk of leaving your money in a bank is a less than ideal arrangement, in particular if you've got more money than is federally insured ($250,000). if you have the tech where you don't need a bank, then banks should go away. Some people may want or need banks but banks are the actual hack on top of money, not crypto.

@lanodan @feld @hj until you experience how primitive banking in the USA is you won't fully appreciate why so many people are excited about crypto

the worst thing the internet has done is that it has convinced a significant portion of its users that every single story or post or idea or concept or community has to relate to them in some capacity. if they are not in the core audience, they need to be included. if they are not happy with it, they need to be satisfied. the sociological concept of exclusion is not an inherently moral debate, sometimes you are just not included in a group or community and that is fine.
