criticising a thing that has a life of its own just because the mainstream has started paying attention to it for the way the mainstream is paying attention to it is kinda lame tho
and speaking from a platform that is far more centralised now than it was 15 years ago
being so myopic about something far bigger than any other economic phenomenon in maybe centuries is pretty cringe... when you look at the big picture, nothing has changed, and bemoaning the fact that nasty people are trying to capture bitcoin is pretty ignorant of the history of repeated attempts that have failed in the last 9 years or so, i think you can even trace it back to Consensys and JP Morgan trying to muscle in on it with Ethereum, and the fact that most mainstream and even this "alternative" libertarian culture bastion barely even know about that, or the deeper story behind Ver, and Wright and Ross Ulbicht and the Silk Road and Black Market Reloaded and the ongoing darkweb and Tor and Nostr now
i mean, it's just ignorant, speaking authoritatively about a subject they clearly have barely even looked into since 2015
